Who else grew up playing Connect Four? This classic board game has been loved by generations of children but the most fun way to play it is on a giant scale!
Read on to find out how to make your own giant four in a row game with VELCRO® Brand Stick On Tape . This DIY outdoor game is perfect for birthday parties and weddings... Or just some fun in the sun!
Start by cutting a square out of an old bed sheet and stick it to the wall. Black works best but to keep the cost down, use whatever colour you have at home!
Next, take a pack of VELCRO® Brand Stick On Tape and cut out 25 strips that are around 3-5cm in length.
Stick the hook side of each strip to the sheet and the loop side of each strip to the back of a paper plate.
Now you're ready to play! The rules of giant four in a row are simple.
Give a set of paper plates (red or yellow) to each player or team. To win, you must be the first to stick four paper plates of the same colour in a row - either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Take it in turns to stick a coloured plate on the wall. On each turn, try to build up a row of your own coloured plates or block your opponent!
The game is over when someone gets four in a row or all the spaces are filled, resulting in a stalemate.
Wondering how to win at four in a row? Try these strategies!
