Battleship

How to play:
Each player will need two 1010 grids one with irregular verbs in each square, and one
blank grid. You can either prepare them in advance laminate the grids to make them
reusable or get your learners to fill in the squares in the grids with the verbs they need to
practise.
The players then mark where they want to place their ships by circling rows, horizontally or
vertically.
Each players fleet consists of the following ships:
1 aircraft carrier 5 squares
1 battleship 4 squares
1 cruiser 3 squares
2 destroyers 2 squares each
2 submarines 1 square each
Play
The players take turns to make a shot at the opponent, by calling out the coordinates of a
square. The opponent responds with the verb in the square. The player should give its second
or third form (or both) to learn whether its a hit if it hits a ship or a miss if it misses. If
every square of a ship gets shot, that ship is sunk.
If the player fails to give the verb forms, they skip their turn. Make the game even more
challenging if the player hits a ship, the player should make up a sentence with the verbs
(in their second or third forms depending on the focus of learning).
During the play, players should record their shots on the blank grid as X for a hit and O
for a miss. Get your learners to jot down the verb forms that they failed to give (later on, these
verbs can be used for homework).
Whoever manages to sink all of the opponents ships first wins the game.
