Draw a 3 x 3 square grid, similar to the one above, on the board.

Divide pupils into 2 teams.

Teams take it in turns to nominate a square.

Ask a question about school vocabulary.

If they get the answer right, the team’s symbol goes into the square ( x or 0).

If they get the answer wrong, the opposition team gets a chance to answer the question for an extra turn.

The first team to have a line of correct answers in any direction is the winner.
