Sentence bingo

Give the students a copy of the sentence components below:

I	am	Am not	angry	A computer	Ten
You	Can	Can’t	Clever	A girl	A doll
He	Is	Isn’t	Brown eyes	Tall	Long hair
She	Are	Aren’t	A mobile	A cat	Ride a horse
We	Has got	Hasn’t got	Swim	Nine	A boy
They	Have got	Haven’t got	Happy	Blond hair	Short

Each child has to prepare a personal bingo card using words from the grid e.g.

I	Am not	Angry
She	Can’t	Ride a horse
We	Have got	A computer

Make sure the sentences the children prepare grammatically correct before you start playing the game (if you have a large class, this is impractical unless you collect in all the cards and correct them for the next lesson). When all the children are ready, call out one of the words from your master grid e.g. ‘can’t’ or ‘long hair’. The children with the word cross it off their card. Keep calling out words from the grid until someone has a line ‘You are ten’. Ask the child who says he/she has a line to read it out so that you can check it. Keep going until a child has three full sentences.
