Preparation
- Prepare a Bingo Grid with some information about yourself. (A good resource for doing so can be found at this website.
- Some examples: Tammy, Dog, purple, yes, strawberries, 28, United States, Yes, I have., Yes, I do., Maybe, Yes, I am., No, I haven’t., brown, No, not yet., No, I don’t., No.
Description
- Students divide into groups.
- As a group they have to devise questions that will give the answers on the grid.
- If they ask you a question that gives an answer in the grid, they get to cross of that answer in the grid.
- Only the team that asked the question gets to cross off the answer on their Bingo grid.
- If another team wants to get that answer crossed off their grid, they have to think of an original question that elicits that answer.
- The first team to get one or two lines gets bingo.
Variation
Give each student a worksheet with 24 pictures on it. The pictures should be things you like or play- music, food, sports, animals, popular characters. Go through the vocabulary. The students then have to walk around the room and ask, ‘Do you like/play ___?’ The student either answers, ‘Yes, I do’ or ‘No, I don’t’. If yes, then the other student signs the square. They must do this until they get a bingo. For a longer activity have the students get a signature for each square then call out names for the bingo part of the game. (worksheet A14 or E 20)
Variation: If a student says, ‘No’, they have to draw a batsu on the square and they can’t use that square for bingo.
