Child's Play


Bingo


Good for the end of the lesson for practising numbers (or general vocab.).

Preparation:
Make a different grid of sixteen random numbers for each class member. Write a number list for yourself.

Play:
Explain that the students must mark off the numbers in their grids as you call them out, and that if they finish the grid, shout

    "BINGO!"

Call out the list:
When a student shouts "BINGO", ask them to read out their numbers, and check them off on your list.

The winner gets a pencil sharpener or rubber, which they will treasure.

Variation:
Draw vocabulary objects in the grids (eg. cabbage, tall man, short man, computer etc.), then call them out or (for artists) write in the grids and draw them on the board.
