Human Tic Tac Toe

human-tic-tac-toe

You can use this game as a small group activity or as an upfront game for a huge group.

For this game, you need at least 6 students and 9 chairs. Set up 2 teams: one to be x’s and the other o’s. Divide it how you wish: the guys can be x’s and the girls o’s, or all the freshman and sophomores (x) vs juniors and seniors (o), etc.

When the leader yells, “TIC TAC GO!” students charge toward the chairs.!” (NOTE: be careful, this isn’t a hockey game. No pushing, shoving, scratching, biting, clotheslining, scissors kicking, decapitating, etc.). Their goal is to make a line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, just like the tic tac toe played on paper.

If you’ve got a camera and a VPU, you can use a cordless relay system or a really long RCA cable to provide a live feed from above the chairs. That would help the audience cheer on their team.

NOTE: Teams cannot make the straight line closest to them. You may have a few “Cat’s Tails” or “Cat’s Games” (depending on the region you live in)!
