Inspired by the classic game, Battleships can be used in classes of any size and any ability. The activity has been prepared to be played to practice present perfect question construction but it is easily editable and can be played to practice any topic and it has full audio and visual feedback. This activity is perfect to use in ONLINE classes and is a great way to engage students and increase student speaking time in those classes where students are reluctant to speak up.
Easily adaptable for lessons and students of all ages and abilities there are 3 different configurations so the game doesn’t become predictable for students, who love the ‘class versus the teacher’ aspect of the game!
Editing the activity is as simple as typing in the expressions / structures you wish to practice.
Students discuss between themselves and choose a square. One click on the square highlights that text and then students have a chance to discuss their answer.
After students / groups have given their answers another click drops the bomb and students find out if they have hit a battleship or not. Once a whole battleship has been revealed you can click it to sink it. The game is over when all the battleships have been revealed.
Based on the classic game, this engaging activity can be used in classes of all sizes and abilities. Entirely customizable, up to 35 questions can be set at a variety of difficulties. Perfect as a REVIEW activity, a reward activity, a BACK TO SCHOOL (or END OF TERM) treat or just an exciting way to practice questions on a topic / evaluate students’ ability. This quiz game is ideal for use in ONLINE or DISTANCE LEARNING classes and will keep students engaged from start to finish.
The activity is simple to set up, each slot corresponds to a question slide, just type in the questions and answers for your students. Questions have been set at three difficulty levels that correspond to their position on the board, this helps the teacher to differentiate throughout the class and enables classes with a broader range of levels to play together (this can be checked on the slide page).
The PPT comes with a simple instruction slide for students and has automatic sounds and both 30-second and 1 minute countdown timers. This version combines all previous products with BOTH vertical and horizontal question and answer slides.
