Dots Game Generator

Remember playing the dots game as a kid during church meetings, in a quiet corner? This same game is a great way to keep kids entertained in the car as well. Of course, it only works if they have someone sitting next to them to play with them.

For those of you who are rusty on how to play the game, here are some instructions:

1. Generate a grid of dots on a piece of paper using our tool below
2. One child connects two of the dots with a vertical or horizontal line (no diagonals).
3. Now your other child connects two of the dots.
4. The children keep taking turns until a square is formed.
5. The child who completes the square gets to put his or her initial in it, and gets to go again
6. Keep taking turns until all the dots on the grid are connected.
7. Count up each player’s initials on the grid. The one with the most squares wins.

With our Dots Game Generator, you can not only print a basic dots board, but you can also delete some of the dots so as to customize the look and feel of the grid. In order to do this you simply draw a rectangle around the dots you want to delete (sorry, we don’t have an undelete at this time). Rectangles must be drawn from top left to bottom right. You do this by clicking and holding your mouse button and dragging it down to the right to cover the dots that will be deleted.

Once you have your grid generated, click on the “Print” button below the puzzle to print your grid.
