I hope these printable travel games come in handy on your next car ride. If your family has a favorite travel game or activity, please share it with us! I like this battleship game printable as it gets the kids talking and thinking, whether we are on a long car journey and need to keep them entertained or if we are out at a restaurant.

As parents, we all know how dangerous and distracting that can be when your are driving. Having this battleship game on paper printable ready to go in these very situations will help keep the peace and avoid many stressful situations. When I asked them what they thought of the game and how it would play, my two little geeks had the following to say: Even though this is such a simple game, I hope you will agree that the battleships game printable is pretty versatile and can be used in a variety of different ways depending on the situation you are in. Our family travels a lot and we do most of our traveling by vehicle. Many of our trips are just day trips. We like to travel to the Twin Cities and go to the zoo, the Mall of America, the Childrens’ Museum, or just go play “tourist”. We also love to go camping and hiking as we are very active in the Geocaching scene. Having activities for our little geeks in the car is essential to keep a Zen like atmosphere in the cramped quarters of our van. Failure to do so always results in the shortest of trips becoming long dramatic episodes. Having travel games at the ready is a fantastic way for our little geeks to keep busy, interact with each other, and not disrupt said Zen. The travel version of Battleship works particularly well in the car as my two oldest little geeks sit in different rows in the van. Since Battleship is a game played by talking to each other, there is no need for them to sit next to or even be within close proximity to one another to play. Additional, because that game is so small, they can easily play it on small surfaces such as on a table in the motel room, on a picnic table, or a chair tray on airplanes. If you are in need of a fun classic game this summer, or whenever, do give this game a try. If Battleship is not your game of choice, Hasbro has released a number of games under the “Fun on the Run” title of small compact games. Odds are there is one or more of these games that is perfect for your family.

A Versatile Battleship Game Template Once a player hits all of the squares occupied by a single ship, that ship is considered sunk. When a player has a ship sunk, they must let the other player know and tell them what ship it is.

To set up the game, each player takes one of the two grid boards and opens them up. The grid board sits on the lap or table in the same way as a laptop top computer. The bottom portion of the grid board is for the player to arrange their five battleships. The battleships can be arranged in any pattern the player wants. At no time can a player rearrange their ships when the game starts. It is therefore in the player’s best interest to be as random as possible with their ship placement.

This game is comprised of 2 small player grid boards, 10 ships (5 per players), and a whole mess of white and red colored pegs (used to identify “hits” and “misses”). All the components are made of durable plastic and fit snugly on the game boards. All the game pieces fit easily in one or both grid boards for easy set up, clean up, and travel. To play this game, one person is X and the other is O. Each person takes turns writing their letter in a grid with the objective of getting three of their letters in a row. Whoever gets 3 in a row first wins. Equally, you can just use it as a battleship paper game printable for the kids as and when you need it. This game is very versatile. It can get played by one person or a group of people. You can make it a competition or a collaboration. You can make this a timed game by seeing who can find the most car models in a set amount of time or who can find the most of a single model. Or you can set a number of models and see who can find that many first. There are many different possibilities. You can simply cross the car off the list or make a tally mark in front of it. If you want to save on paper, just print out the number of battleship template worksheets you need, and laminate them so you can use them again and again.
