Description
Plays like a regular game of battleship. Students mark their four ships on the large grid, keeping them hidden from their partner. They then take turns saying different sound combinations to try and hit their opponents ships. The smaller grid is used to track your calls so you don’t accidentally repeat. Game finishes when one player loses all of their ships. If time runs out, whoever has the least hits is the winner.
Notes
Wait until they’ve had some practice with phonics to try this game. I start the activity by reviewing the alphabet and the sounds of each letter. Projecting into to the screen during the demonstration works well with getting the rules across.
