This Learning Board introduces children to an ancient game called Tic-Tac-Toe (or noughts and crosses in some countries). It is played by two children (or two groups of children discussing their moves collaboratively). The idea of the game is to start with a blank board and then players each take it in turns to place a nought or a cross onto the board in order to make a line of three. Lines can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Whilst the game is good fun it requires an understanding of strategy, placement of pieces, logical thinking and spatial-awareness. The competition element is also highly motivational.
