This is one in a series of booklets which can be used by the teacher or a substitute teacher. Each booklet starts with a list of the vocabulary necessary to complete the booklet. Each booklet offers a variety of activities. Pupils can work through at their own pace. The activities will help the pupils to learn the vocabulary of that topic. I have made these booklets to leave for classes I have to miss due to meetings, illness etc. I have also used them myself when I just need a class to get on with something. Substitute teachers, even non-linguists, have reported back to me that the booklets work very well. If a pupil gets stuck the teacher can always find the answer in the booklet.

I use battleships for a variety of activities: 1. As a whole class activity to encourage speaking skills. To do this I project the grid on to the board in Smart Notebook. I choose five squares secretly and pupils have to try to guess which they are using target language only. When a square is guessed correctly I write the name of the person who guessed it in the square. When a square is guessed incorrectly I put a cross in that square. The five winners usually get a small reward. 2. For pair work to encourage speaking skills. I print copies of the grid, usually two to a page to save printing costs. Pupils play in pairs, each choosing five squares and taking it in turns to guess the others squares. The winner is the one who guesses all 5 chosen squares. 3. I use the small printed grids for listening practice exercises. On my own sheet I number squares 1-10. I then read out the sentences which lead to each of those squares and pupils have to write the numbers 1-10 in the correct boxes. I then display the answers on the grid on the board. Pupils can mark each other’s or their own
