Chores Battleships Game - Do you have to....? worksheet

Chores: sweep the floor, walk the dog, take out the trash (rubbish), make the bed, cook, do the laundry (washing) This is a battleships game for students to work in pairs and practise asking closed questions related to chores and days of the week, such as "do you have to walk the dog on Saturdays?" The game has the advantage that the students will very gladly practise the question forms many times, as the game is a lot of fun. It´s excellent for accuracy practice. Alternatively, the teacher may also use it to practise the past tense, future tense or other present simple forms. It´s very versatile. ************************************************************** INSTRUCTIONS: Give each player a pencil and a print-out of the Battleships game. Each player must hide the sheet from his or her partner. First the students draw five battleships on the grid (5 crosses; each cross may occupy only one square). When each player has marked their fleet on their grid, begin play. Students take turns to ¡°shoot¡± at their opponents� fleets by asking questions that specify a certain grid co-ordinate / square. Traditionally, native speaking children would call"B4" for example; students learning English would instead ask "Do you walk the dog on Fridays?" The opponent must say whether the shot is a "miss" or a "hit" - if there is a cross in the matching square. It is a hit. Play continues until one player wins by successfully sinking the whole of the other player´s fleet. I hope these instructions make sense. It is much easier to play than it sounds. It is also fairly easy to demonstrate (rather than explain) to the children what they have to do.
