Record the words you say on the board.
To make the game more challenging, give a clue rather than saying the word. For example: You
can play with it. (Pupils must point to "toy").
Continue saying words until a pupil gets three in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and
calls: BINGO! Check the winning words against the list on the board.
