What you need: 4 sheets of 15 x 15 cm paper or card. 2 sheets of one colour and 2 of a different colour.

Instructions: Start with the paper you'd like to use for the X's. Fold the paper in half, top to bottom and right to left. There are now 4 equal square sections.

Cut the sections out on both sheets, you'll be left with 8 squares, we only need 5 squares.

Take one of the squares which now measures 7.5 x 7.5 cm Fold the paper in half, top to bottom and right to left. There are now 4 equal square sections.

Fold the top and bottom edges to the middle.

Unfold and then fold the left and right edges to the middle.

Unfold the paper.Flip the paper over to the other side.

Fold the paper in half diagonally.

Fold the paper in half diagonally the other way and unfold.Flip the paper over to the other side.

Push in the corners.

Flip it over to the other side.

Push the edges inwards.Fully collapse the paper into the middle.

Now we'll make the 0s.

Fold the paper in half top to bottom and then fold the top and bottom to the middle. Unfold.You now have 4 long sections.

Do the same for both sheets of paper, and then cut along the lines.

Again, you only need 5 of these strips.

Take one of the strips. Fold the strip in half, bottom to top.

Shape the strip into a circle, use a round object such as a pen, or chopstick to round the paper out if you like.

There will be excess paper so cut some off.

Once your circle is how you like it, pop one end inside the other and smooth it out.

All's left to do is draw a grid for the game!
