We cut the 2 x 4″ board into 10.5″ pieces and sanded each piece so they would slide easily. (54) 10.5″ Pieces cut from 2 x 4″ boards.This simple game has entertained families for years and this giant, outdoor version bring the fun to the next level. If you have an especially competitive crowd, there are variations of this game, which can be found here. You may only toss the Throwing Sticks underhand and end over end. Teams take turns tossing their throwing sticks and trying to knock over their competition’s Kubbs. If you knock over the King Pin before knocking over all their Kubbs, you immediately lose (like the 8-ball in Pool). The object of the game is to knock over all five of your opponents Kubbs (like horseshoes) before finally knocking over the King Pin to win the game. Then set the King Pin directly in the center of the playing area. On the two shorter ends, set your 6 Kubbs on end in even intervals between the corner posts. To play, mark out a playing area of about 15 x 25 feet with your corner posts. To make your Throwing Sticks, cut the 1.5-2″ dowel rod into 12 inch pieces.

Because 4 x 4 posts are actually only 3.5″ x 3.5″, you just need to cut off. Decorate the King Pin however you like to show its importance (this is a great way to let the kids get creative with paint!) To make the King Pin, cut 12 inches off the 4 x 4 post. 6 Feet of 1.5″ – 2″ Dowel Rod (To make the Throwing Sticks).

You’re ready to play! There are so many great games to play with dice – we love to play Yahtzee (you can find instructions from Hasbro here and a printable score card here) and Farkle (you can find instructions here). One of our new favorite dice games (that’s perfect for kids) is called Cooties – you can find the instructions and free printable score cards here. So opposite sides will be 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4.

Helpful Hint: The opposite sides should always add up to seven. Cover your foam brush with paint and use a picture of a dice (or real dice) to help you correctly place your pips. Using a circle foam brush will help your dots (called pips) to be uniform, but you can use any brush to paint the dots on your dice. You can finish your dice however you like! We decided to stain them, but you could paint them or leave the natural wood. If you are cutting your blocks out of a 4 x 4″ post, sand the sides really well.
