Battleship

  1. Each player makes two grids on a sheet of paper. (fold paper in half vertically – 5 columns by 5 rows per grid)  The bottom grid is for the player's ships, and the top grid is to track hits and misses from attempts the player has called out to his or her partner.
  2. Both the player and his or her partner should have the same five categories in the same order on their grids, vertically and horizontally.  For example, the five columns at the top of the grid may have written words or pictures for items of clothing, and the five rows at the left side of the grid may have written words or pictures of a particular color, etc.  The top grid and the bottom grid should match as well.
  3. 3 ships of varying lengths are then penciled in on the player's bottom grid, i.e. 1 occupying 2 spaces, 1 occupying 3 spaces, and 1 occupying 4 spaces.
  4. The player calls out a clothing and color combination (for example - la camisa blanca), and the partner verbally indicates the results of the guessed location.  Nada = nothing,  Tocado = hit,  Hundido = sunk  In the upper grid, the player should mark the results accordingly ( Nada = a circle in that square of the grid, Tocado = an "x" in that square of the grid, Hundido = an "x" in that square of the grid as well as a line through all "x"'s in that particular ship.
  5. As the player's partner calls out clothing and color combinations, the player must indicate the results of the guessed location in the same manner as noted in item 4.  Then, they must also track the hits to their own ships in the lower grid.  Small check marks may be placed above portions of ships that have been hit for example.
  6. Play continues until one player has lost all of his or her ships.
