Battleships

This is your good-old Battleships game with English vocabs instead of letters-number coordinates.

Materials

 * Battleships worksheets

How to play

 * 1) Make a blank battleship grid worksheets for your students. It should have two identical grids; one for the player's own grid, and one for the enemy.
 * 2) Label the rows and columns with the vocabs you’re teaching.(Let’s say it’s colors & shapes lesson. Rows will be colors, and columns will be shape.)
 * 3) Tell the students how many ships they can have and how big the ships are (for instant, 5 ships, 3 squares for each ship. You can do different sizes, too.).
 * 4) Give the worksheets to the students and have them draw in their ships wherever they like. 3-5 ships with same/different sizes. And don't let their friends see their papers.
 * 5) After they’re done drawing in their ships, ask them to make pairs.
 * 6) Students taking turn calling out one row and one column (e.g: “Yellow circle”) and mark on the ENEMY's grid  which ones are MISS and which ones are HIT.
 * 7) If the students receive a HIT from the enemy, then they mark on their own side of the grid as HIT.
 * 8) When a student loses all their ships, then that student loses the game.

Playing as a whole class VS the teacher(s):

 * 1) Draw one big grid on the board and labels the rows & columns with the target vocabs.
 * 2) On a piece of paper, write down where you want your ships to be. Your HRT can do the same and students can try to destroy both teachers' ships.
 * 3) Students make groups and raise their hand to answer a question.
 * 4) When answered correctly, they can "fire a torpedo" at a coordinate (call out a row & column).
 * 5) The group gets one point if they hit one of the teachers' ships.
 * 6) Play until all the teachers' ships are HIT. Group with the most HITS wins the game.
