Activity instructions
Preparation
- Design a bingo card with nine boxes. Every box contains an image of an object that everyone has in their house or classroom.
Activity steps
- Show the bingo card
Show the bingo card to the students, so they know which objects they need to collect.
- Run!
When you say "GO!", the students can get up from their chair
and collect three items that are in a straight line on the bingo card.
The first student that comes back and shouts "BINGO!", scores bingo.
Tips for implementation & variation
- Online teaching: Share a screenshot of your bingo card in the chat of the video lecture tool and let students collect the objects in their own house.
- If you want to make it more personal, include objects on the bingo card that can be used as a conversation starter. Once the students have collected their objects, ask them to elaborate on their objects.
