Latitude/ Longitude Battleship
By Tracy

|
After teaching my 6th grade students about the lines of longitude and latitude, I play battleship with them in class. I clear the desks to the sides of the room and create a huge grid on the floor with masking tape. Then I label all the lines either latitude or longitude. When the students come to class they are divided into 2 teams and play similar to the battleship game. 2 students make up a battleship and each side only has 1 battleship at a time. I even make paper hats for the students to wear to represent a hit or a miss. This allows the students to visually see the lines as well as practice saying them correctly.
