Magnetic tiles are one of the best toys for open-ended play. Kids can build towers, houses, ramps, and so much more.
But one of our favorite things to do is turn our builds into games the whole family can play together.
If you already have magnetic tiles at home, here are three fun games kids absolutely love.
1. Magnetic Tile Mini Golf
Mini golf is one of the most fun magnetic tile games because kids get to design their own course.
Kids can make the course as easy or as challenging as they want.
How to play
-
Use a small ball, we used a ping pong ball.
-
Take turns trying to hit the ball into the hole.
-
Count how many tries it takes.
Kids love changing the course and trying again to beat their score.
2. Spin the Wheel (Wheel of Fortune Game)
This game adds excitement and surprises to magnetic tile play.

3. Magnetic Tile Basketball
This game gets kids moving and cheering each other on.
