This is a battleship game covering New Horizons 1 Unit __. It’s fantastic for drilling (don't) need and (don't) want + infinitive. Note that the double negatives can be confusing at first so be careful to explain clearly how they function.
When you’re introducing this game, be sure to demonstrate it with the JTE as your “competitor” and practice the pronunciations and meanings of each prompt. When they’re getting their feet under them I also have the kids work in pairs of two (who have identical grids on top) competing against another team of two. Make sure they switch off who is asking the question and who is answering.
When the class understands the game well a 5x5 grid with 7 “ships” will take about 15 minutes of class time and a 4x4 grid with 5 “ships” will take 5-10 minutes. If you need to shorten or lengthen it you can add/ take away a row and column and adjust the number of “ships” to match.
