How to play Tic-Tac-Toe
Take turns marking a three by three grid. Three in a row, across, down or corner to corner, wins.
What you need
- A pencil or pen
- A sheet of paper
- Two players
How to set up
Draw a three by three grid. One player is X, the other is O.
1. Draw two lines down the page, evenly spaced.
2. Cross them with two lines going across. That makes nine squares.
3. Choose who is X and who is O. X goes first.
How to play
- On your turn, draw your mark in any empty square.
- Lines can go across, down, or corner to corner.
How to win
Be the first to get three of your marks in a straight line. Three in a line wins. If all nine squares fill up with no line, it is a draw.
Tip Take the middle if you can, and always block two-in-a-row.
