Battleship Valentines Style!!


With Valentine's Day approaching I've been thinking about different activities I could do in my class. I found this game and thought it would be perfect because we are talking about ordered pairs in math. Hope you enjoy!

The main idea of this game is to have students be able to identify ordered pairs. This is a variation of the classic board game Battleship. I made a simple game board by creating a table using word.

I would pair my students and give each a game board and 5 kisses (you could use any candy you would like I had kisses so that's what I used). Put a folder between the students so they cannot see each others board.

Have the students place their candy on their board.

Have the students take turns guessing ordered pairs. If they guess a square that has a piece of candy, they get the candy. The first student who gets all the candy from the others board wins!
