Pintrest Inspired St. Patrick’s Day Activities
Because Jamie and I are busy taking care of our daughters this week (post surgeries) we are bringing you a week of fun Pintrest inspirations. Make, Take, Teach created this awesome gif file for her readers. "To play this game, you’ll need a board for every two players. Each player will need about 10 colored chips of the same color (each partner must have a different colored chip). So, if we were playing, I may have 10 red chips and you may have 10 blue chips. Players take turns reading a word and placing their colored chip on the word. Players try to be the first to get 4 chips in a row either vertically, horizontally, or diagnoally while at the same time blocking their opponent."
