Alternatives to Traditional BingoListening Exercise: Put pictures and say the key expression.
Writing Exercise: Leave it blank(s) or put writing lines. Scaffold by giving a word bank.
Speaking Exercise: Pick students randomly and they can say whichever word/phrase they want. (I have a cup on my table with popsicles that have student numbers on them.)
Line BingoInstructions: Each student gets a horizontal strip of paper. Students can only cross off or tear the paper at the ends. For example let's say the strip of paper has the words:
[hat][book][cap][cup][pencil]
If the word called is pencil they can cross the word off like so:
[hat][book][cap][cup]
[pencil]If the next word called is cap, they can't touch the word because it's not at an end yet.
If the next word is hat, they can cross it off like so:
[hat][book][cap][cup]
[pencil]Survey Name BingoSetup: I get students to fill in a survey with their response first and I put their responses into a bag. This is how I draw the names randomly.
Instructions: Walk around the class and ask students the question(s). Write down the student's name/response. Give the students a time limit or a minimum number of students they need to ask.
When students are done, pick out names from the bag. You can also use this as a final review. For example they go around asking "What is your favorite sport?" and now you can ask the class "What is Minji's favorite sport?"
Bingo with X number of names, or teams can get points based on correct answers.
Giant Writing BingoJust like normal bingo except they have to fill in all the boxes themselves. Great for higher levels and when you are revising a lot of vocabulary. i.e. for camp or for when they have vocab tests.
