This Strategy Game Craft Is Great For

• Schools: A build-and-play project that sneaks in real thinking. Students decorate their boards, practice planning ahead, and learn to win and lose gracefully during structured classroom play
• After-School Programs: An easy activity block that runs itself. Kids craft first, then naturally keep playing in pairs, which makes it perfect for clubs, free-choice time, and end-of-day wind-down
• Camps: A rainy-day lifesaver with tournament energy. Cabin groups can decorate in team colors, then rotate through quick matches, keeping everyone busy and engaged without extra equipment
• VBS: A turn-taking and patience builder for rotation time. Kids make their own game, then practice encouragement and good sportsmanship while they play with new friends
• Recreation Centers: A crowd-pleasing station with strong replay value. Great for family nights and community events because participants decorate, play, and keep returning for “one more round”
• Nursing Homes / Senior Centers: A familiar classic that sparks conversation. Decorating is relaxing, and the finished game is perfect for intergenerational play, friendly matches, and easy social connection
• Parties / Events: A competitive craft station with a real takeaway. Guests personalize their games, then jump into quick mini matches that keep energy high and cameras out

Tips for Best Results

• Paint pieces before assembly for easier coverage and cleaner details
• Use acrylic paint pens for patterns, names, and bold outlines
• Organize a friendly Connect 4 tournament for extra excitement
