My son and I went head to head for two games of Shuffleboard on our kitchen hardwood floor the other day. He obliterated me the first game, but I came back and won the second. Both of us were pleased! Like most games, scorekeeping is required. Shuffleboard’s “10 OFF” box means that players won’t just have to add the points from each round, but they’ll have to subtract too! This was loads of fun and a subtle way to slip in some addition and subtraction practice. I made the shuffleboard court with blue painters tape. The pucks (or biscuits) were large metal closet door pulls (they were being clearanced out at our local hardware store). To distinguish which pucks where whose, I cut some circles of craft foam and placed them inside the pulls, attaching them with a piece of double-sided tape. Don’t want to buy your pucks? Start saving lids (e.g. spaghetti sauce jar lids, peanut butter jar lids, etc.). You just need six of the same size. For our paddle, I used the swiffer mop. It worked like a charm. I put a line on the floor five feet back from the point of the board for my son and I to stand behind. A homemade scorecard helped to keep track of the points. (Download it here.) Rules of play (for our variation of Shuffleboard) Play alternates between two players. Each player stands behind a line and pushes the puck with the swiffer toward the shuffleboard. If the puck is inside any part of the board’s triangle, points are earned. If the puck lands at the end of the board in the “10 OFF” area, the player must subtract 10 points from their score. The opponent can knock a player’s puck off the board with their own. The first player to get to 45 points is the winner! (The traditional game is played until 75 points are earned; the scorecard I made has lots of rounds to account for extended play.)

We did this after hours on a Saturday. I looked at lots of DIY mini golf stuff online, but ultimately we just worked with what we had laying around. There were a total of nine holes, and we started at the front desk, went upstairs, and ended in the children's room, where patrons could exit out the Emergency Exit. We bought some plastic toy clubs that were really short, but I discovered the end would fit inside a pool noodle, which worked out as a nice little length extender. We bought foam ball

If you are new to our Seek It Games, they are simple to make and fun to play. Each card has one (and only one) match... each player just needs to find their match to the center card first! It's a fast game and fun to play multiple rounds... works with 2 or more players, there are 55 cards. An instruction card is included with each set. I get lots of questions about printing, print settings, etc - so I thought I'd do a couple of screen shots to show you where your settings should be so your Seek It Cards turn out perfect! First - make sure you have the "FIT" box checked... if it's on "Actual Size" - your circles will be slightly larger than 3" rounds (which means when you punch them, you'll cut off the cute edge card)! This is the setting you should get in the habit of using when printing any of my printables. Next... click on the "PROPERTIES" button and another box will pop open. ALWAYS select your paper type; your print quality changes based on what YOU tell the printer you are printing on. I also ALWAYS recommend printing on GLOSSY surface paper - so that your ink sits on top and doesn't soak into the paper. Photo paper for this project might be a bit too thick - so my paper of choice is Glossy Brochure Paper. It's thicker than paper, but thinner than card stock AND both sides are glossy, so the cute back side will be as vibrant as the front. Each Seek It! Game is set up exactly the same. First, print the card fronts (Pages 1-12), then reinsert the paper into your printer (facing up) and print 12 copies of Page 13, which is the cute pattern designed to be the back of the card. All of the printables you see in my photos are printed at home using my HP Envy Photo Printer (on BEST quality with glossy paper). I highly recommend the following printers in this series... 7155 or 6255 (or 7640). Once it's printed, you COULD painstakingly cut each round card with scissors, or you can simply punch with a 3" Round Craft Punch! I then laminate my cards for durability with my home laminator and prefer to use 5ml heat pouches. My shown in the picture above is OLD - but here's a link to an inexpensive personal one that has great reviews on Amazon. After cutting out your cards, you can store them in these DARLING round metal tins or 4x6 organza gift bags. They are great for parties, classroom activities, family game nights - or make one to give as a gift! We hope you enjoy making and playing your Seek It Games as much as we do with our families - be sure to check out the entire collection, we have over 20 themes to choose from!
