This game is useful for practicing a variety of yes/no questions and short answers. Choose one student to come and sit at the front of the class. Write the name of a famous person or character on a piece of paper and give it to the player.

A 'yes' answer from the player earns a student another chance to ask a question. When a student correctly guesses the player's identity, they become the next mystery person. If the students are unable to guess the right answer after 20 questions, the answer is revealed, and a new student is chosen to come to the front of the class. For higher-level students, you can play a variation of the game called 'Animal, Vegetable or Mineral'.

Business Networking Game - Vocabulary: Bingo, Matching - Group Work In this free networking vocabulary game, students play bingo by listening to definitions of networking words and phrases and marking the matching terms on their cards. In groups, the bingo caller reads a definition at random from the caller's sheet, e.g. 'Building professional relationships for mutual benefit.' The players listen and look at the networking words and phrases written on their bingo cards to see if they have one that matches the definition, e.g. making connections. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a player has crossed off four words or phrases in a row. When this happens, the player shouts 'Bingo!' and then makes a realistic networking sentence with each crossed-off word or phrase 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 not, the bingo is void, and the game continues. If the sentences are correct and the words or phrases match the definitions, the player wins the round. Players then continue to see who can cross off all 16 networking terms 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.

EAP Intercultural Communication Activity - Speaking: Asking and Answering questions, Freer and Communicative Practice In this free intercultural communication 'Find Someone Who' activity, students ask and answer questions about cultural differences and cross-cultural experiences in academic settings. First, students review the yes/no questions they need to ask in the activity, e.g. 'Have you talked with someone from a different country in class this term?' Students then go around the class, asking their classmates the intercultural communication questions. When a student finds someone who answers 'yes' to a question, they write down the person's name and ask a follow-up question to gain more information, noting down the answer in the last column. If a classmate replies 'no', the student repeats the question with another person or asks a different question. This process continues until the students have completed each item on the worksheet with a different name and answer, one classmate per item. Afterwards, students give feedback to the class on the answers they collected, e.g. contrasting preferences or surprising responses.

EAP Intercultural Communication Game - Vocabulary: Bingo, Matching - Group Work In this engaging intercultural communication game, students play bingo by matching intercultural terms with their meanings and briefly using them in context. In groups, the bingo caller reads a definition at random from the caller's sheet, e.g. 'Understanding and recognising differences between cultures.' The players listen and look at the intercultural communication words and phrases written on their bingo cards to see if they have one that matches the definition, e.g. cultural awareness. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a player has crossed off four words or phrases in a row. When this happens, the player shouts 'Bingo!' and then makes a related sentence with each crossed-off word or phrase 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 words and phrases are wrong, the bingo is void, and the game continues. If the sentences are correct and the words or phrases match the definitions, the player wins the round. Players then continue to see who can cross off all 16 intercultural terms 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.

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

ESL Active vs. Passive Voice Activity - Grammar, Writing and Speaking: Role-play, Asking and Answering questions, Transforming Sentences, Freer Practice - Group Work This active vs. passive voice speaking activity helps students practice using the active and passive voice appropriately in different contexts through crime investigation role-plays. In groups of three, one student takes on the role of a detective, one is a suspect, and the other is a witness. First, the suspect chooses and underlines one option for each statement on their card about what they were doing on the day of the crime. Next, the detective interviews the witness, who describes what they saw in the active voice. The detective records the answers in formal report language to complete the police report (Incident, Location, Time, Suspect Description, Other Details) using the passive voice for crimes and actions done to objects or people, and the active voice for suspect descriptions and movements. When the report is complete, the detective reads it to the teacher for verification. Once verified, the detective interviews the suspect, who answers using their statement card. The detective begins with an accusation, then asks active-voice questions and compares the suspect’s answers with the witness’s account in the report. Each answer that does not match the witness’s statement counts as one mismatch. If there are three or more mismatches, the detective arrests the suspect. If there are two or fewer, the suspect is released. Afterwards, students change roles and repeat the procedure with the next case, and so on, until all three cases have been completed.

ESL British vs. American English Game - Vocabulary: Bingo, Matching - Group Work In this enjoyable British English vs. American English game, students play bingo by matching British and American words with their meanings and recalling the cross-variety equivalent. In groups, the bingo caller reads a definition at random from the caller's sheet, e.g. 'Clothing worn from your waist to your ankles with two legs.' The players listen and look at the words written on their bingo cards to see if they have one that matches the definition, e.g. Trousers. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a player has crossed off four words in a row. When this happens, the player shouts 'Bingo!' and reads the words they crossed off, along with the corresponding British or American equivalent for each word. If the player makes a mistake in any of the four equivalents, 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 words are wrong, the bingo is void, and the game continues. If the equivalents are correct and the words match the definitions, the player wins the round. Players then continue to see who can cross off all 16 words first. Groups play several rounds, with students taking turns being the bingo caller and players using a different bingo card each time.

In teams, students have 30 seconds to complete rows with words that fit four education-related categories.

After the points have been awarded, each team has one chance to score bonus points by creating a sentence with the four words they have written. If a team only manage to include one word in their sentence, they score one point. If they manage to include two words, they score two points, and so on.
