Agreements with Auxiliary Verbs – Noughts and Crosses
This game is adapted from the traditional game of noughts and crosses, which looks something like this:

The grammar version of the game is played in 2 teams.

TeamX looks at the statements in the grid below, chooses a square, and responds to the statement in the square using an auxiliary verb (following the structures in Grammar Challenge – Agreements with Auxiliary Verbs. If team A's response is correct and appropriate, TeamX 'wins' the square, and writes a large X in it. Then it is team O's turn.
