35+ Easy Craft Projects Based on Classic Board Games

January 19, 2016 by FaveCrafts 3 Comments

Everyone has their favorite board games that they had as a child. Mine was Twister—I loved the action and the chaos involved in playing with lots of other kids. It also didn’t hurt that it was the only thing that I was able to beat my sisters in! Games were my childhood. In my family, we were constantly playing games like Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, Uno, Skip-Bo, and Trouble. Now that I’m older and have gotten into crafting, I thought it would be nice to do a throwback to the best board games in some of my craft projects. This list of 35+ Easy Craft Projects Based on Classic Board Games includes some recycled crafts that reuse old and forgotten game parts of the games themselves as well as some home decor projects that pay homage to your favorite childhood games, such as Scrabble, Twister, Candyland, Checkers, Chess, Dominoes, Yahtzee, Backgammon, and Battleship.

    These are fantastic. I’m always looking for large scale game ideas to occupy our Cub Scouts at our end of the year. We’ve done our own “board” games. But nothing based on or reminiscent of childhood favorites. My own children would have a blast with these in the front yard too. Bookmarking for future use!

    I make Scrabble board message centers. I tape the back so it can’t bend. I glue a square of cork, a square of heavy cardboard painted with chalkboard paint, a tile rack glued to it for a pen and chalk, a pocket to hold little sheets of paper and something to hang it on the wall.
