Train Game

We’ve had a lot of cold, snowy, icy weather this winter in Indiana.  After a while, you start to feel a little stir crazy being inside so much.  We play outside in the snow here & there, but that’s really not enough.  So the kids & I came up with a new game, using some toys in a different way.  We call it the “train game”.

First, we set up 2 sets of track, right beside each other.  We made sure that each track has the exact # of pieces, even though they’re not identical in how we set them up.

Then we put two trains at the starting point.

The youngest player goes first, and you roll one die, moving your train along the same number of track of what you roll.

If you land on either piece of the hill you get to go to the next piece.

Every time you roll a 1, the bridge either opens or closes.  If you get to the bridge and it’s closed, you have to wait until either player rolls a 1 to open it back up.

The first player to reach the finish line wins!  We’ve had so much fun playing our train game, and it’s definitely helped to keep our minds off of the weather.  🙂
