English Dots and Boxes Game - I AM / ARE YOU STATEMENTS - No prep printable

An easy and fun no-prep game that will elicit a lot of exposure and pronunciation for the target vocabulary and grammar when teaching I am / I am not / Are you. This is a one-page dots & boxes game including directions. This game could be laminated and used repeatedly with dry-erase markers or played on an iPad with annotation / whiteboard tools.

The following constructions are used: I AM - I AM NOT - ARE YOU?

The following adjectives are used: HUNGRY - THIRSTY - AFRAID - HOT - COLD - RIGHT - WRONG

Objective: Complete more boxes than your component. Each player draws lines using a different color. On your turn, make a horizontal or vertical line from one dot to another. Say the words on either side of the line you drew. If you complete a box on your turn, draw an X in the box using your color. Once all of the boxes have been completed, count to see who got the most.
