Teacher’s Toolbox - Human Bingo


Objective: To help students get to know each other and know how to interact and start conversation in real life. The human bingo will feature questions that will be answered by sentences in the simple past, simple present and simple future.


Materials: Students are given a bingo card that contains the keyword for their question. They will also have to record their classmates’ answers and will need a pen to jot down notes.


Procedure:

  1. Key phrases for questions and answers will be put up by the teacher.

    1. Questions Key-Phrases

      1. Do you like…?

      2. Are you…?

      3. When do/did/will you…?

  1. After 5 minutes of preparation, the students will stand up and ask their classmates a question each. They should take note of their classmate’s answers (who answered it and the answer that was given). Students will have 15 minutes to complete their bingo.

  2. After the human bingo activity, students will record their activity questions and classmates’ answers in their journal for checking.



** I have derived the original concept of human bingo. This is usually done in team building and acquaintance parties, and usually participants would just look for people who have the thing on their bingo cards. However, I changed it and made it more educational and interesting for those who are beginners in learning English. This will also help them have practice in real-time conversations.
