ESL Game - Battleship
By:kr

Title: Battleship
Type: Concentration game
Target: Any vocabulary
Materials: None
Procedure: Divide the class into 4 or 5 teams. The teams are now crews on a
Battleship at war with the other ships. One person on each team is the captain,
another person is the shooter and the rest is the crew. Each ship has its own
name. The captain’s job is to answer when their ship is called, the shooter’s job
is to call out another ship’s name and the whole crew must each say a vocab
word. The teacher starts by calling out the name of a ship. The captain answers
first by saying a vocab word, for example, let’s say the theme is food, they
answer by saying bananas. Each crew member of that ship follows by saying in
turn another food word until the last crew member is the shooter. The shooter
himself says a food word and then calls out the name of another ship. That
ship’s captain must answer and their crew must say food word until the shooter
calls out another ship. If the captain doesn’t answer quickly (2-3 seconds after
their ship is called), their ship is sunk. If the shooter can’t say the name of
another ship quickly or any crew member can’t say a vocab word, their ship is
sunk.
Comments: Can be made harder by not allowing students to repeat vocab
words or else their ship is sunk.
