how to play

This is a grid game adapted from Noughts and Crosses, designed for 2 players (or teams). Your aim is to make a line of three: horizontally, diagonally or vertically.

When you choose a square, you have to complete a task. For example, look at the picture and make a sentence: Top left: fox, box. There is a fox in the box.
If you are right, place your sun or cloud marker on the game board.
If you are wrong, it is the other team's turn.
The first team to make a line of three, wins the game.

preparation

Print out a game board and markers. Laminate for future use.
Cut out the individual markers (optional for the game, use buttons or pawns instead). Learn more how to prepare our one-sided cards (pdf).
Before playing the game revise or pre-teach the names of all the items on the game board.
