Grid Reference Battleships
In this exciting game, students select grid references to hide the locations of battleships on their game board. They then take turns to try and locate and sink each other’s ships. A great way to help students understand and read grid references and plot them on grids. This game is part of a larger Year 3- Marvellous Mapping Unit.
