Play Patriotic Tic Tac Toe for Memorial Day

Make your Memorial Day barbecue extra fun with this colorful backyard game.

Ready to have a berry fun time at your Memorial Day barbecue? Everyone will love teaming up in this patriotic tic-tac-toe race using strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream!

 

You’ll Need:

  • 2 plates
  • 5 strawberries
  • 5 blueberries
  • Can of whipped cream
 

Set-Up

Draw a tic-tac-toe board on the ground using the can of whipped cream. Select 2 teams to play against each other and have both teams line up behind the board. Place a plate with 5 strawberries in front of one line and a plate with 5 blueberries in front of the other.  

Game Play

The person at the front of each line will pick up one of their berries. Let a spectator be in charge of telling the teams when to place their berries. When the spectator says, “GO”, both players will race to the board and put their berry in the spot they want. Then they will run to the back of their line and the next player in their line can grab a berry and race to the board. This relay race style play can continue until one team has gotten 3-in-a-row. Return the berries to their plates and play best 2 out of 3, each time starting with whoever was next up on each line.  

Clean Up

Wash it all away! When you’re all done, just throw out the larger fruit pieces and wash the rest of the fun away with a hose!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
