This game is really adaptable, it's especially good for reviewing work from previous lessons, we use it a lot before exams. Students love competing for the all important corner and centre squares so put the more difficult tasks in those!
1. Draw a Noughts and Crosses grid on the board. In each square write something you want to review. E.g. a tense, a phrasal verb with the preposition missing, a word that is a false friend with a word from the students' first language. For tenses you can also add a verb that they need to conjugate, to make it easier or more difficult for them.
2. Divide students into 2 teams, the noughts and the crosses. Each team takes it in turns to select a square. To win the square they must make a correct sentence using the words or grammar inside it. They can confer before they answer.
Sentences must be a minimum number of words long (decided by you) so that they can't win with very simple sentences. If they fail to give you a correct sentence the team loses their turn.
Draw a nought or a cross on each square to show which team won it.
3. The winning team is the first to make a line of 3 on the grid. It can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
