BATTLESHIP

Horizontal: get, go, take, put, cut, come, give and fall.

Vertical: away, up, out, on, in, down.

Rules:

1. Draw two ships on your map making sure nobody sees where you have put your ships. You may put your ships inside any square where there is sea; the part white on the map, the other one (black) is land. Your ships must not cross a line into another square.

2. Work in pairs. The object of the game is to guess where the other player has put the ships and bomb them.

3. To do this, decide which square to bomb and make a phrasal verb joining the two words that you think it´s possible to form it.

4. If the square that you bomb contains a ship, the other player must say hit. If the square that you bomb is next to a square with a ship in it (including diagonally), the other player must say near.

5. Players take turns to bomb each other´s ships and the first person to hit both of the other player´s ships is the winner.

6. A player whose ship is being bombed may challenge the other player to spell the phrasal verb that he or she saying; if the other player is unable to spell the word, he or she misses a turn.

An activity to work the topic of a song

Song “I´ve been waiting”

Firstly we will listen again the song, and then I will propose my children the next activity: they will have to put in groups of four and they will have to dramatise the topic of the song. They will have to do a drama related with the topic of the song. I will give them some clothes to wear properly in relation with the song story.

This activity is designed to upper courses of Primary school. 

Listening activity

Dialogue:

Rose: What´s up Greg?

Greg: Hi Rose! I´m here drinking a peppermint with my other head…

Rose: I was with Rocky, but now he´s reading the news…I don´t understand him; if you want to read, don´t come here.

In another place…

Sarah: I love my margarita with a cigarette.

Peter: You know Rose that smoking is not healthy. Yesterday I was at the aliens-doctor and he told me that our legs are very weak…and if you smoke, it´s worst.
