Weekend Bingo Zip file 24kb (containing 1 Excel file)
Level: basic
Grades: 1
Topic: What did you do at the weekend?
Skills developed: speaking
Short description: This is a game that requires speaking. My students usually enjoy it, and I reward those that finish first with fake money. How to play: Give each student a copy of the grid. Have them all stand up, and let them try to make a BINGO (or 2) by asking their classmates about their weekends. Teachers should join in too. (You can modify this to any topic).
