My whole family are big into board games, we love them and are constantly on the hunt for new favorites, but the old standbys remain dear to to our hearts and checkers tops the list for most family game nights! This fun checkers set it perfect for popping into a bag for on the go fun and is downright fun to make! Get the kids involved! Choose silly colors for the pieces! They’ll love to make and and love to play with it even more when they’ve helped to create the game themselves!

Checkers board (make your own here)
