Description: Your ESL students will enjoy competing to sink their partner's battleships in this classic strategy game with a Halloween theme. Students will practice forming sentences with feelings vocabulary and the irregular verb "to be" in the present tense. They will also develop speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills. Includes the following feelings and emotions: angry, happy, sad, silly, sleepy, surprised. Watch the video tutorial ahead of time so you can explain the game to your students, or have them watch it in class if your school allows students to access video content. "Sink the Ships" is a very versatile game. You can assign it as pair work, include it in learning stations or use it as a reward. Plus, you can use it for all kinds of language. Students can use the bonus editable board to create their own games. My favorite thing about "Sink the Ships" is that it develops so many different skills: logic and critical thinking, speaking and listening, grammar and vocabulary. Kids love it because they're challenged, engaged, and determined to win! Note: If you plan to use the video tutorial, please note that you may have to adjust browser and filtering settings first.
