Bingo - Interview

Preparation

Prepare a Bingo Grid with some information about yourself. 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.

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.

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.
Variation: If a student says, ‘No’, they have to draw a batsu on the square and they can’t use that square for bingo.
