This is a fun way to review homework or to give motivation to the students to do book exercises during class. I recommend this for smaller classes.
Tips:· Allow a student to draw the X and O if they want (the more participation the better!) · Most students choose middle first. Teach them that the corners are the best strategy · Set a time (10 seconds) for them to choose their squares and numbers Easter Egg Lesson:Direction Vocabulary - Teach top/ bottom/ left/ right/ middle and watch them use these terms better and better over time. Real Interaction - If you choose students to write the X and O on the board, they can do the entire interaction. - "What square do you want?" - "Bottom middle" - "Team B, choose a number" Tic-Tac-Toe Strategy - This teaches more than just winning at tic-tac-toe. Once you teach that the middle isn't the best first move, they will usually get it and learn to think a bit differently. Teamwork - They will learn to work in a team in choosing the right square together and choosing which number they want the other team to answer. Want more?Good luck!
