Connect Three is the same as Connect Four, but making 3 connecting dots instead of 4 connecting dots in a straight vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line, in order to score 1 point.
(You can also make it Connect Four, but I find making it 3 is easier for kids to score, therefore they get more excited and think it's easy to win.
Students form pairs and use 1 boardgame design between them.
1 student uses a blue marker/crayon, the partner uses red. Or one student uses Maru, the other Batsu.
JTE and ALT can review the lesson first (English words I, He, She, like/likes, don't/doesn't like, play/plays, don't/doesn't play, live in/lives in).
JTE and ALT to demonstrate how to make a sentence, by checking the top of the column, the left side of the row, and the spot they chose.
The first student can claim any circle on the board, by saying the English sentence. (Ex. She doesn't like grapes.)
If he gives the correct sentence, he can mark that circle with his blue marker/crayon. If wrong answer, the circle is free to be taken at another time by either player.
The partner takes his turn next, and claims any circle on the board.
They keep taking turns and marking their circles.
If a straight vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line of 3 consecutive circles is made with the same color, that is equivalent to 1 point for that student.
Write the score at the side of the boardgame.
*Modification: allow students to score another point by connecting a 4th spot to either end of an existing 3-circle line with the same color.
Continue playing until all the circles are marked.
Count the total score to determine the winner.
