4. Play Tic Tac Toe
This is a simple game and can’t believe I never thought of it before! Rather than using boring old paper and pen to create tic tac toe, use straws and condiments! Just use different sugar packets or jelly flavors for each person and set up straws into a hashtag. I’m sure you can figure out the rest!

5. Magnetic Fishing Game
This is the cutest game ever! Kids love the plastic fishing game where the fish spin around and they catch them with plastic fishing rods. But that game is too loud and large to carry with you into a restaurant. This pocket sized game is homemade and fits in the size of an Altoid tin! AKA, perfect for your purse and a restaurant!

6. Miniature Memory Game
Playing memory is entertaining for your kids but’s also a great brain teaser! It forces them to also play quietly and sit still, two must-haves. You can purchases inexpensive memory games at your dollar store, or make your own like the one pictured above that’s easily stored in your purse or glove compartment.
If you love the game pictured above, then head over to Dandee-Designs.com for a tutorial on making your own set. If you don’t feel all that crafty, she’s got a link to purchase a pre-made one from her Etsy store!
