Print and cut U.S. Maps and place them on the Battleship game boards. You need 2 copies of the map per board for a total of 4 maps per pair of players. To fix the maps to the game boards, we used 2-3 white pegs at the corners of the maps (the outermost hole on the Battleship grid board). Getting the pegs to poke through the.
During the Great War, man-made communication systems were still crude and unreliable, so dogs and pigeons were used extensively to carry messages. In the War Pigeons game mode the opposing sides compete to use messenger pigeons to call in artillery barrages on the enemy. When the game starts, a pigeon coup with a messenger pigeon is placed somewhere on the map. Locate the pigeon before the enemy and carry it to a safe location out in the open. There you prepare a message and send it off, calling for artillery support. Once a message is successfully sent an artillery barrage will strike the enemy.
I think teaching longitude, latitude, and general map skills to students is important. Last year, my 4th graders really struggled with the longitude and latitude coordinates when finding absolute location. When I compared the lines to a game of Battleship, the fog cleared. In order to really make the connection clear, my students brought their Battleship games to school. I brought the maps. We attached the United States maps with longitude and latitude lines on the Battleship game boards and played a version of map skills Battleship.
The students received more practice finding locations on a map. They had a chance to call out an absolute location as well as pinpointing two coordinates a partner might give them. It reinforced state locations and reviewed some math skills too (estimating a number between two points and coordinates on a grid). My history curriculum focuses on North America, so I used a United States map. You could create your own game board with other maps as long as the map is 6″ x 6″ (link below for my U.S. map).
How do you play Map Skills Battleship?
Like the real Battleship game, each player has two game boards. One game board has 3 red pegs positioned on the map. The opponent will be trying to guess the location of these 3 pegs by calling out a pair of coordinates. As guesses are made, the player marks guesses with white pegs. The 2nd game board tracks guesses and hits for the opposite player. The first person to get 3 “hits” wins the game. Every time a student makes a guess or looks at their personal game board to mark a guess, they become more confident in finding absolute location.
