Spelling Challenge Week 30

BATTLESHIP 





You will need two of the battleship game boards. One for you and the other for your opponent. Make sure you have a folder or something similar to stand up between players. Each player picks five of their most challenging words from the spelling list. Tip: Specifically try to pick words that varied in length. Both players then add the words, one letter per box, to their grids on the left side of the game board. Note: Words should not be written diagonally. You can go forward, backwards, vertical or horizontal.

 To start: Player 1 calls out a coordinate (ex. D2) with the hope that the opponent has written one of the words’ letters in that box. Each time Player 1 calls a coordinate, he/she marks an “X” in that space on the right side of their game board.

If a letter is in the space called, Player 2 says so (and can even indicate the word that was hit or the letter), and instead of an X, Player 1 writes an O in the box called. Player 2 puts an X through the box that was called as well, covering the letter, on the left side of their game board. Coordinates that don't hit letters can also be recorded by Player 2 if they so desire.

Play alternates between the two players. When the coordinates for an entire word are hit, the player must announce it. The aim is to call coordinates that successfully locate all the spelling words. Whoever sinks all of the others ships first, is the winner
