BBC Radio 4 - Afternoon Drama, Ivan and the Dogs HUMAN BINGO | ELT-CATION It’s said that once one player got so excited that he’d won, he cried “Bingo” instead of “Beano”. The name stuck.

And no, I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Before the game: make a list of 15 questions that you’d ask your students. E.g. if you’d like to focus on tense review, these tense review questions could be handy Alternatively, get your students to come up with questions they would ask someone they meet for the first time/haven’t seen for ages/ at the interview/ etc. – Specify there should be no ‘yes-no’ questions. Step 1. Hand out a sheet of A4 paper to each student. Step 2. Ask your students to write down an answer to the first question in any square. Step 3. Happy teaching!
