Games: All new tic tac toe

I divide the class into 2 teams and draw-up a large grid on the board and put a variety of things in there.

If it's kids, I might put phonics in, i.e. 'ph-', '-an' etc. They have to say a certain number of words to get the square.

If it's adults, I put in words that begin or end with _. Again, they have to say a certain number of words to get the square.

How do they land on squares?

Get some tissue paper, scrunch it up into a ball, pour water on it and get Ss to throw it at the board!
