Lastly, depending on the level of my students, I like to add in the question / answer process during tic tac toe. For example, my third graders are learning about different foods in the 5 food groups. We played tic tac toe with the question, “¿Cuál fruta es?” and answer, “Es una manzana.” This simply encourages them and gives them practice speaking in sentences.
It might sound like we play tic tac toe all day / every day in my class. BUT! it’s just one of many different strategies to keep my students engaged and using Spanish. I love to switch things up on them. They’re always excited to see which way we’ll practice Spanish when I roll my cart into their room each lesson.
Which version of tic tac toe do you want to add into your lesson sometime soon?
