1. Place your ships on the "My Ships" grid according to their sizes: Aircraft carrier (5 squares), Battleship (4 squares), Cruiser (3 squares), Submarine (3 squares), and Destroyer (2 squares). Ships can be placed horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally, and cannot overlap.
2. Take turns calling out coordinates (e.g., "B5") to guess where your opponent’s ships are located.
3. If you call a coordinate that contains part of an opponent’s ship, mark it as a "Hit - X" on your "Opponent Ships" grid.
4. If you call a coordinate with no ship, mark it as a "Miss - O" on your "Opponent Ships" grid.
5. The first player to sink all of the opponent’s ships wins. A ship is sunk when all its squares have been hit.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable battleship grid.
