Monster Truck Board Game

Monster Trucks are so much fun to watch as they racing around or traverse crazy terrain. With such a fun theme, kids will enjoy playing this easy to prepare Monster Truck Board Game.

To Prepare

This Monster Truck Board Game is easy to prepare, just print out the pack and join the two pages of the board together.

 

These pages can be glued together or paste them side by side onto a large sheet of cardboard or even laminate them together or separately. Then tape them together on the back side.

 

There are also games pieces included that I recommend cutting out and laminating for durability. You could also use counters, markers or mini trucks toys if you have some.

 

There is one dice included that only has the number of monster trucks on it. To read this die, children will need to be able to count the number of trucks on the face they roll.

 

If you have younger children, there is another die that has the pictures as well as the number on each square.

 

These die are easy to make, just cut out and glue together on the parts shown. You could also use your own dice.

 

To Play

Now the fun begins!

 

To play, roll the dice and move the number of squares. If there is writing on the box, read it and do what it says.

 

The first one to the end of the game board wins!

 

 

I’ve been doing a lot of posts about games lately (see also my post about printable board game templates) because I think games are a great activity when it’s hot outside. Or cold outside, depending on where you live. Or it’s raining. Or really any time you just need something to do. 

I never really got into video games as a kid (or as an adult, other than a couple I play on my phone to pass the time) but I did always like Tetris. Did you know you can play a Tetris-like game without a screen?

One Mama’s Daily Drama designed a printable Tetris board, complete with brightly colored shapes like the classic game. 

You can play it a couple of different ways. Start with a stack of shapes and try to put them together like you would in classic Tetris. Then you can either move the pieces down as you fill rows, or just play until the board is full and you can’t make any more moves. 

This is fun as a solo game (and would be great for a road trip if you laminate the pieces for durability) but you can also print out multiple sets and have people challenge each other to see how many pieces they can use before they run out of space or how long they can play moving the full lines.

It might also be a fun challenge, instead of drawing shapes to place in order, if you worked with the shapes like a puzzle and tried to fill in as much area in your board as possible using whatever shapes you want. 

I think this would be a great one to add to your printable games arsenal, and kids and adults will both want to get in on the fun. 

You can grab the printable Tetris game pieces from One Mama’s Daily Drama.
