Periodic Table Battleship
This is a great way to get kids to practice using the words period and group while getting acquainted with the periodic table. At a higher level you can have them practice the family names such as Noble gases or Alkali metals instead of Group numbers.
Another hint for memory is to write the words in their notes this way:
G
R
O
U
PERIOD
so they can have a visual reminder of which one goes up and down and which one goes side to side
