If the sentence is correct they

write their symbol (X

or O) in the
go box.

If the sentence is incorrect, the

next team has a turn
and may
choose any box.

The aim is to get three boxes

in a row horizontally, v
ertically
or diagonally.

Each team works together to

prepare their sentenc
es and
selects a writer to wri
te the
sentences on the boa
rd.
