ESL Easter Game - Vocabulary: Bingo, Gap-fill, Matching - Pair Work In this rewarding Easter vocabulary game, students play bingo by completing gap-fill sentences with Easter words. You take on the role of the bingo caller. Read a sentence at random from the caller's sheet using the word 'blank' for the missing Easter word. Students listen and look at the words on their bingo cards to see if they have a word that completes the gap-fill sentence. If they do, they cross it off. The game continues until a student has crossed off four Easter words in a row. When this happens, the student shouts 'Bingo!' and then reads out the Easter words they crossed off. If the words match the sentences that were called out, the student wins the round. Students then continue to see who can cross off all 16 words. Play several rounds, making sure students receive a different bingo card each time. As a variation, students can play the game in groups with students taking turns to be the bingo caller. show less
