About Dots and Boxes

Dots and boxes is a classic pencil-and-paper game which goes by a variety of different names including dots, boxes, pigs in a pen, the game of dots, or dots and dashes.

The game was originally named “la pipopipette” when it was published in the 19th century by Edouard Lucas, a French mathematician.

Instructions and Scoring

Like the original dots and boxes game, this is a paper and pencil game for two players. Take turns drawing a line from one dot to another on the grid. If your line completes a box, write your initials in the box and take an extra turn.

Each completed square is worth one point. Earn an additional bonus point for each school-related picture in your squares. Once the grid is completely filled, the player with the most points wins.

I would recommend placing this puzzle in a dry erase pocket when using it in your classroom.
