Description: Your ESL students will enjoy competing to sink their partner's battleships in this classic strategy game with a birthday party theme. Students will review the present perfect tense, irregular past participles, and vocabulary to describe party preparations. They will also develop speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills. Includes the following verb phrases: blow up the balloons, bring the presents, choose the music, go shopping, hang up the balloons, make the cake. "Sink the Ships" is a versatile game. You can assign it as pair work, include it in learning stations or use it as a reward. Plus, it works for all kinds of language. Students can use the editable board to create their own games. My favorite thing about this game 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! If you plan to use the video tutorial, please note that you may have to adjust browser and filtering settings first.
