From Three Wise Monkeys
Aims: Questions, verbs, any
Materials: grids
Yet another way to play this versatile game:
Demonstrate how to play by rough drawing a battle-grid on the board. You’ll need at least a five by five grid, as you need to fill in all four ships to cater to the slower learners. Next, get the JTE to commence to ask questions. For example, if your 2-dot vessel was on the grid provided, then your attack demonstration could look something like this:
JTE: “Are you going to study English tomorrow?”
ALT: “No I’m not. Miss! Are you going …?
JTE: “No I’m not. Miss! Are you going to play shogi tomorrow?”
ALT: “(Kuso) Yes I am. Hit! Are you going…”
JTE: “No I’m not. Miss! Are you going to eat sushi tomorrow?”
ALT: “(Oh my God!) Yes I am!! Hit and sunk!!!”
Permit students 1 minute in which to fill-out their grids. Keep to this time limit! Alternative battle -grids can be found in the misc. section. See Rainforests for team vs. team instructions.

From Dave’s ESL Cafe
Aims: directions
Materials: signs to post
This person…
placed a series of signs leading from my classroom with instructions like “Go down the stairs, and turn left” or “Take the second right”. There were a few false trails to make things interesting (both loops or dead ends). Let students go at spaced intervals, then meet them at the finish line.
It is easy to include some prepositions as well… or get them to perform a specific task.
