What to do

  1. Today you are going to play tic-tac-toe with your partner. Raise your hand if you already know how to play tic-tac-toe. Good. Clarify instructions if any students are unsure of the rules.
  2. I am going to give each set of partners a tic-tac-toe board. I am also going to give you some letter cards. This is how my version of tic-tac-toe is a little different. Before you can take your turn, you must pick a letter from the pile on your desk and name three words that begin with that letter.
  3. Your partner will give you a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If you name three words, you can take your turn and make a mark on the board. If you don’t name three words correctly, then your turn is skipped.
