This is a
two-stage BINGO activity in which students first have to use “Would you ~?”
and “Could you ~?” and the nine clues provided to formulate correct
questions. For example, “May I use your umbrella?” for the first clue and
“Could you read this letter for me?” for the second. They write their
sentences in random order into the nine squares of the BINGO sheet on the
second page. In stage two, you select students to ask you the questions. If
they ask a grammatical sentence using the target grammar, you say “all right”
and they get to cross off that square, as does any student who wrote the same
question. One line crossed off in any direction is BINGO. In addition to
selecting students, you can also encourage the more eager ones to volunteer.
Copy the printout to A3 paper or shrink it to B4 size. Small prizes can of
course be awarded. All possible formulable questions are listed here. |

This activity
practices “We call it ~”. The method is a comparison between British and Canadian
(in other words “North American”) English. Each student receives this sheet. (The American
version is here.) Their
task is to find the words written in grey. (You of course have to white them
out of the printout before you copy it.) They do this by first selecting a
card from the basket. (These cards you will have already prepared in sufficient
number, and placed in a basket, or some other container.) Then, they take the
card to both you and the JTE (in which order is irrelevant), who are
positioned on either side of the classroom.. One of you represents
They will ask you “What do you call this in
[Britain/Canada/America]?” (Which one depends on which country you’re
representing.) You will say “we call it a lorry/truck” and the student will
write down the correct vocabulary in the space provided. (On the bottom of
the worksheet is a list of the relevant vocabulary to help them out.) Once
they have written the vocabulary item they then return the card to the basket
and retrieve another card and start again. After the students have done all
twelve items, they return to their desks and you pick students at random and
ask “what do they call item number~ in “They call it~” to
answer. |
