BATTLESHIPS

• Children work with a partner to have a game of
Battleships.
• Each child will have an A4 grid, with number and letter
referencing.
• Teacher puts up a key: red brick = submarine; green &
yellow brick = battleship; orange, light blue & dark blue
= frigate
• Each child plots their battlefield using the bricks as their
ships.
• Have a screen up between the two children so that they
cannot see each other’s battlefield.
• Children take turns to call out a grid reference - trying to
“hit” each other’s ships.
• E.g. Child No 1 calls “A4”; Child No 2 will say whether it
is a hit / a hit & sunk / a miss.
• The child that gets all the ships first, is the winner of the
game.

CATCHING

COLOURS

• Children work in groups of 6; pile your 6
bricks in the middle.
• Each child decides on a colour and collects
all those bricks from the pile.
• Children take turns to throw a colour dice -
whatever colour comes up, that child takes
the colour brick from whoever has it.
• As soon as your pile of bricks has gone, you
are out of the game.
• Whoever lands up with the most bricks in
the end, is the winner.

Variations:
• Children take turns to throw the colour dice.
• The child with the colour brick that
corresponds to the dice, may begin a model
build.
• As each colour is thrown, the corresponding
child builds.
• Whoever finishes his / her colour first, wins
the round.
