Battleships
A free live quiz game for the classroom
Team against team. Every right answer charges the team's cannons, and a captain takes the shot.
How a round plays
- Pupils are split into two teams. Each team has five hidden ships on a 10 by 10 grid.
- Every right answer adds to the team's charge bar. A wrong answer ends the pupil's streak.
- When the bar is full, a pupil who answered right becomes captain and has 8 seconds to fire.
- Sink all five enemy ships to win. If time runs out first, the team with more hits wins.
On the board: Both seas side by side with hits, misses and sunk ships, and the charge meter.
