Before You Start Tape a large tic-tac-toe board to the floor with masking tape. Dive the class into two teams, X’s and 0’s. Let's Begin 1. Alternating between the teams, select a person to answer a fairy tale trivia question. 2. If a student answers incorrectly, the other team gets a chance to “steal” and can work as a group to come up with a correct answer. 3. When a question is answered correctly, that child must come to the center and choose a spot to sit in. Give him an X or an 0 to hold. 4. When a team gets three in a row, they win. Repeat the game. Furthermore You can vary this for a more interactive experience. Select nine students to sit in a life-size tic-tac-toe board. Teams take turns picking a student to answer the question – the team can then agree or disagree. A correct answer gets a square.   construction paper with a large X or 0 on it, five of each masking tape list of fairy tale trivia questions, i.e. What did Cinderella lose at the stroke of midnight?
