Tetris Printable Game Pieces

You guys, Tetris is my jam. Like I have beat the game more times than I can announce. At 30-something (cough, cough) years old, on a drive down from Virginia to Florida, I might have played the Tetris Electronic Game most of the ride. I did have five children (my offspring) in the car seats behind me. They were mostly attended. Let’s just say, they got there alive and I beat the game at least twice on the way down. I did pat myself on the back because no one else would at the end of that ride!

Is anyone else a huge fan of Tetris? If so, try the printable version.  We have the perfect gift for you – Tetris Printable Game Pieces for Travel. You too can pat yourself on the back at the end of your cross country drive!

Tetris Printable Game Supplies

You will need your game pieces and game board. Optional items include cardstock or a laminator and pouches.

• Tetris Game Board and Pieces (we will email you access)
• Cardstock
• Laminator
• Laminating Sheets

Tetris Printable Game Board Prep

Print your game board and Tetris game pieces on cardstock. We suggest laminating your board and pieces to keep them sturdy and help them last longer.

A laminator and cardstock are both items I am always using. Scotch Laminating Sheets are my favorite brand.

How to Play Printable Tetris

A printable Tetris game is a bit different form the electronic version, first lines don’t clear.

• Place all your pieces in a bag and shuffle them.
• Draw a piece and put it on your board. The piece must be placed on the bottom, working your way up with each new piece (like in electronic Tetris.)
• Try and fill all the spaces.
• Pieces can be rotated in any direction but they cannot be flipped on their back.

There are two versions for scoring your printable Tetris game.

First Version

Fill as much of the board as you can. When you can no longer add anymore pieces, count all the white squares that are exposed. The lowest number wins.

Second Version

Shift pieces downwards manually from the bottom as rows are filled up. Count how many rows you are able to delete to get your score. Highest number wins.
