Introduction

Here is an interactive breakout room activity to help students pract ice basic adverbs of m anner.

Procedure

Divide the students into pairs ( A and B) and put them in breakout room s.

Send each student a corresponding A or B worksheet..

Tell t he st udent s t o writ e t he six adverbs of m anner shown at the top of their worksheet into their battleships grid, either horizont ally, vert ically or diagonally.

Explain that the aim of the game is for the students to find their opponent's battleships ( adverbs) by calling out coordinates for the grid at the bottom of the worksheet, e.g. B7.

I f t he square is em pt y, t heir opponent says 'm iss' and t he t wo students swap roles.

I f t he square cont ains a let t er, t heir opponent says 'hit '. The student then reveals the letter and the other student writes the letter in the square and has another turn.

When an adverb of m anner has been com pletely revealled, the student tries to sink their opponent's ship by using the adverb correctly in a sentence.

I f t he sent ence is incorrect , t he ship won't sink. Only one sent ence attem pt can be m ade each turn. I f students are unsure, they can ask you to adj udicate.

When a student successfully m akes a sentence, the ship sinks and the student writes the sentence down next to the grid in the space provided.

The game continues until one student finds and s inks a ll s ix of t heir opponent 's bat t leships. That st udent wins t he gam e.
