Free Printable Paper Battleship Game

Do you like the game Battleship? We've tried playing with my son....but find that it just seems to take foooooorrrrrreeeeevvvveeeer.  So last week I made a short printable version (because we love making DIY games!)   Hopefully you and the kids will enjoy playing this shorter, printable paper battleship game too!

Print out your free Battleship game here.

Then, cut the page in half to create 2 game boards (one for you and one for your opponent.)

Fill in "YOUR BOARD" with 2 battleships and 2 submarines.

Now it's time to make your game board stand up.  Fold the game board up to the line.

Then fold the game board along the line like this:

It should now stand up like the real Battleship Game!  (Is anyone else super excited by this?  I was so proud of my design!)

To play the game, simply follow the directions in the printable.  (Basically both players take turns guessing where the different ships are and marking their guesses on the "OPPONENT BOARD.")

I hope you have fun trying out this game with your kids!  And if you're looking for more fun arts-y or science-y games to keep the kids' minds working, check out the links below:
