Mrs. S and Battleship

While substituting for a Middle School PE class, I observed a game called BATTLESHIP. I love this game for many reasons! First, this game requires teamwork. Second, this game can accommodate for many different class sizes. The class I observed had 42 students and I tried this with a 5th grade PE class I substituted for that had 26. Third, this game is separated into teams - the teams get a break now and then, but the play is quick enough that they stay have to stay on their toes and be ready. Last, the game is like Dodge ball - what student doesn't like Dodge ball?!

If you're looking for a fun game to play with your PE class, a new game to play as a class incentive, or for a rainy day activity..try BATTLESHIP! Lesson plan attached below...
