ACTIVITY NOTES
This fun activity combines grammar, spelling, and listening practice.
 Make sure each of your learners has one Bingo sheet. Your students should randomly
choose 16 of the words (from the list of 20 words provided in the box), and write their
past tense forms in the 16 boxes.
 Then, read aloud sentences using the words in the box at random. Those students
who have the word on their cards can cross it out.
 The first student to have four words in a line crossed out calls ‘Bingo!’ Check to make
sure that the words crossed out are correct.
Consider:
Allow a student (or several students) to read aloud sentences for their classmates.

Make your own sentences, or use 16 from the 20 sentences below. Be sure to read
them aloud in a random order. Cross each sentence off as you read them to avoid
repeating any sentences:
