This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class. inspiration Activity Bingo Aim To play a game of Bingo using first conditional sentences. Interaction Whole class Language focus First conditional (if + present simple + future simple) Skills focus Speaking, listening Preparation Photocopy one worksheet for every six students. When to use After Unit 4 Lesson 3 Time 20 minutes Procedure 1 Review the form of the first conditional on the board, e.g. If you listen carefully, I’ll tell you what to do. 2 Tell the students that they are going to play a game of Bingo. 3 Explain that each student will be given a card containing six boxes. In each box there is the ending of a first conditional sentence. Explain that you will read out the beginning of a sentence and that if a student has the correct ending on their card they can cross it off. The first student to cross off all six boxes shouts Bingo and is the winner. 4 Give out the Bingo cards and ask the students to read their sentence endings quietly. 5 Do the first sentence as a class to check that the students have understood. 6 Read out the sentence beginnings (in any order) until one student shouts Bingo. Tick or number the sentence beginnings you have read out so that you can check the answers afterwards. 7 Ask that student to read back their sentence endings to check they are correct. Sentence beginnings Sentence endings If I pass my exams, I will go to university. I will drive to work if it rains tomorrow. I will pass my exams if I work very hard. If I win some money, I will buy a new mp3 player. I will get married if I meet the right person. If the weather is nice, I will go to the beach. I will learn about new cultures if I travel the world. I will swim in the sea if I go to the beach. If I go to university, I will work very hard. If I go to the cinema, I will watch a horror film. I will feel scared if I watch a horror film. If I go to London, I will visit Buckingham Palace. If I cook dinner tonight, I will make pizza and chips. If I stay up late, I will be tired in class. My teacher will be angry if I am tired in class. I will feel sick if I eat too much chocolate. Variations 1 To avoid more than one student having the same card, this activity could be done in groups of seven with one student reading out the sentence beginnings. 2 At Step 4, the students could be asked to predict their sentence beginnings. ✁ ✁ Card 1 I will go to university I travel the world I will make pizza and chips I work very hard I will work very hard I am tired in class Card 2 it rains tomorrow I go to the beach I will be tired in class I will buy a new mp3 player I will watch a horror film I eat too much chocolate Card 3 I work very hard I will work very hard I am tired in class I meet the right person I watch a horror film I will go to university Card 4 I will buy a new mp3 player I will watch a horror film I eat too much chocolate I will go to the beach I will visit Buckingham Palace it rains tomorrow Card 5 I meet the right person I watch a horror film I will go to university I travel the world I will make pizza and chips I work very hard Card 6 I will go to the beach I will visit Buckingham Palace it rains tomorrow I go to the beach I will be tired in class I will buy a new mp3 player
