One thing I’m pretty sure all parents have in common is the desire to have fun with our kids! With Spring Break just around the corner, we’re all going to be looking for some creative new ideas to get everyone off their screens and playing together. Here’s a quick and easy game the whole family can enjoy, with a little help from Walmart and Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers!
Connect Your Colors Game
This fun game can be played just about anywhere; all you need is the printable game board and your favorite varieties of Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers. {I recommend the 30 oz. carton so you have plenty of game pieces!} Enjoy it at the kitchen table or outside during a picnic lunch. Here’s how to play.
Step 1: Download the game board here.
You can also create your own, just make sure it is seven spaces across and six spaces tall for a total of 42 spaces.
Step 2: Two players should each choose a color/type of Goldfish crackers to be their game pieces.
Our family’s favorite are Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers Colors, so it’s easy for each player to choose one of the four different colored crackers. We also bought some of the Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers Cheddar!
Step 3: Starting with the youngest person, each player takes turns adding a game piece to the board. The objective is to get four of your pieces in a row, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
Players must fill the board from bottom to top, so when placing a game piece, it must go in the lowest free space in a given column. Imagine that the game board were standing vertically and the crackers were dropping down into place.
Winning the game: The first person to link four of his or her pieces in a row is the winner!

Once the game is over, cleanup is simple, because you can eat the pieces! Or, you can play the game over again as many times as you like. If you want to laminate the game board, it will hold up even better for lots of use. It’s easy and inexpensive to create this and other fun & games with Goldfish crackers 30 oz. cartons on rollback for $6.46, available in-store only at your local Walmart.
Both of my boys love playing this game, and they’re both getting good enough to beat me at it on a regular basis! It’s also nice because it doesn’t require speaking a lot of English, so Scout got the hang of it really quickly. What games do you enjoy playing together in your family? How can Walmart and Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® crackers help you enjoy them with a tasty twist this Spring? Find more inspiration and family fun here.
