Each player places 5 ships on the grid titled “My Ships”. Place your ships either horizontally or vertically. Each ship is represented by the letters listed on the grid. For example, AAAAA = Aircraft Carrier, BBBB = Battleship, and so on. The players take turns calling out a spot on the grid such as A3. A player says “hit” if he/she has a boat on the spot named or “miss” if he/she does not have the spot occupied. Each player should keep track of his/her guesses by writing an “H” in a square for hit or an “M” for miss on the grid titled “Opponents Ships”. Also keep track of the opponents guesses on the grid entitled "My Ships". If a player hits every letter of his/her opponents ship, that ship is considered sunk. When a player has a sunken ship, he/she must call out, “You sunk my ..........(type of ship such as aircraft)”. The first player to sink all his/her opponents ships is the winner.
