Collocations: Business English Worksheets & Games

Business English Collocations Game - Vocabulary: Bingo, Matching - Group Work In this engaging business collocations game, students play bingo by matching common business collocations with their meanings and briefly using them in context. To begin, the bingo caller reads a business collocation definition at random from the caller's sheet, e.g. 'To lead and control a business meeting.' The players listen and look at the collocations written on their bingo cards to see if they have one that matches the definition, e.g. chair a meeting. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a player has crossed off four collocations in a row. When this happens, the player shouts 'Bingo!' and then makes a business-related sentence with each crossed-off collocation to verify their win. If the player makes a mistake in any of the four sentences, they are allowed one chance to fix it. If they correct it, the win counts. If the player fails to correct the mistake or the collocations are wrong, the bingo is void, and the game continues. If the sentences are correct and the collocations match the definitions, the player wins the round. Players then continue to see who can cross off all 16 collocations first without making sentences. Groups play several rounds, with students taking turns being the bingo caller and players using a different bingo card each time. show less
