This is a battleship game covering New Horizons 2 Unit 3. It’s fantastic for drilling 'Is it _ to _?' emotion/ adjectival modifier + infinitive questions.
Ex. Is it fun to sing?

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.

Let me know if you find any errors or have questions.

Enjoy!

    Looks like I'd have to request access if I want to view it.

    Thank you for the comment! I've just added PDF versions of each game which should be easier to access. Sorry if that caused any issues

    Do you have a docx file? I can't edit PDF's.
