I just human bingo with different things that they can or can't do. I used some examples from the book, as well as a few things I knew they couldn't do... such as "lick my elbow" and "fly an airplane." I included a few goofy ones, such as "do the hokie pokie" and "dougie" as well. And just for fun, I showed them the following clip showing them how to Dougie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uYi729Rf0UI know, not the most educational, but it's only a minute, and it keeps things interesting.
The rules with Human Bingo are as follows:
Each student has the same grid (5 by 5 squares).
Each square has an action written in it.
Students must ask other students "Can you..." and must answer "yes, I can" or "no, I can't"
If the answer is "yes," the student can write that student's name in the appropriate box.
You can only use that person's name once (I allow them to use one classmate's name more than once because I only have 7 students, but that's up to you).
First person to get 5 in a row wins.
(Or sometimes we'll do it so that everyone keeps going and at the end you ask who has 3 Bingos, who has 2, etc., and the kid/kids with the most win).
Belowis the list of things I included on my sheet (maybe someday I'll do this on the computer, but I just drew it on a blank sheet of paper and made photocopies, so no PDF or word doc. just yet... maybe if I'm feeling ambitious someday I'll attach it).
