Do you ever walk to your game closet or shelf and say you are tired of the games you see? Are you creative and do you like planning? This can be a good team-building activity for a family. You can use stuff you have at home and you can share the work of making a game with your sibling. If you are not good at drawing or writing directions, then you can work with a sibling who is good at that.
Supplies from home
- Cardboard (food boxes or shipping boxes)
- Makers
- Pencil or pen
- Colored paper or white computer or card stock
- dice
- brad
- paper clips

If you have a printer at home, you can make a dice. If you want dice that are sturdier, then print on card stock. I am giving you links to 3 different dice that you put together.

How to make a spinner.
Here is a link to a blank spinner template you can print off. If you can not print then you can always draw your own.

Here is what you have to do to make your spinner:
- Once you have printed or drawn your spinner circle you will need to make a spinner arrow.
- You can make your arrow in 2 different ways.
- One way is using cardboard.
- Another way is to use a paperclip.
- Use a brad in the middle of your circle to attach your arrow or paperclip.
