Instructional Ideas

  1. To teach students how to play this game, teachers can connect their iPad to a projector. Next, teachers can label one side of the class “X” and the other side “O.” With the class divided, teachers can then facilitate the class playing the game using this app together. To do so, teachers can choose someone from Team X or O to select a square and then let someone answer the question to attempt to win the square.
  2. To review phonics skills, teachers can pair students together and let them engage this app together. As they play Tic Tac Toe, teachers will need to monitor students to ensure that they are on task.
  3. For advanced students who are familiar with the game, teachers can have them design their own Tic Tac Toe board. When designing the board, students will have to model the app so that players will still have to answer phonics-based questions to earn squares. Once the boards have been made, the students who created the board can supervise two classmates as they play it.
