Game extensions/tips: There are three levels of game boards to pick from. For a more challenging game, have students use the larger game board. Turn the game into a file folder game and laminate for use year round. Use it is as a center or rotation activity so you don t have to make so many copies for the entire class. Have students partner up to work together against another pair. What if all battleship aren t sunk and the group runs out of questions? Just reshuffle the questions and put face down again. Add more questions created by you.
