Playing games allows children to PRACTISE language in a fun and relaxed environment.

This activity can be used as a filler, a station activity , for early finishers etc.  The game itself does not last long but the pupils will enjoy it so much that they play it over and over again!

Why not laminate the sheet so that it can be reused? Or children can place different coloured glass nuggets down instead of drawing Ox and Xs.

By playing a game of tic tac toe / noughts and crosses, children have to USE the new language and tactics to win the game.

They are in control of the level of language they use.

E.g. If they choose the square with EASTER EGGS on it, they can say as long or as short answer as they like to get it:

eggs

Easter eggs

I can see two Easter eggs.

There are two versions of the game available: full colour or an ink-friendly black and white sheet.

Have fun learning English with Brown Owl!
