We all love a game of Bingo but have you tried playing strip bingo with your students? If you want to avoid the inevitable giggles you can always call it rip bingo. It's a great low prep activity to drill vocabulary. All you need is a list of vocabulary you want the students to learn and a stack of scrap paper.
How to play
Teacher displays a of words/phrases in the target language.
Students take a strip of paper. Students then fold that strip in half 3 times to create 8 boxes.
Students write down one word or phrase from the teacher’s list in each box. You can decide whether they should write it in English or in the TL.
Call out one of the words from your list.
If the student has written that word on one end of their paper (the far right or far left), that student can tear off that word or phrase from their strip. If it is one of the words or phrases in the middle of his or her strip, the student may not tear it off.
The first person to have all of their words called and torn off and their last word ripped in half wins! You might have to read through the list several times in order to find a winner.
Whilst it is an enjoyable game for students it does create a bit of mess. I usually play this at the end of the lesson and as I dismiss the class row by row they place their torn off paper into the bin.
I actually thought “strip bingo” sounded a bit odd at first, but it’s totally different from what the name might make you think it’s just a fun vocab game teachers use in language classes where students write words or phrases on a long strip of paper and then rip them off as they hear them read out. Basically you choose a list of key vocabulary, students put them in boxes on their strip, and then the teacher reads the text or calls the words slowly; if the word called is at either end of their strip they can tear it off, and the first person to get rid of all their words wins. It’s a simple twist on regular bing…
I’ve been using https://crypto-slots.casino/ for a while, and honestly, it’s one of the smoother crypto-only casinos I’ve tried. I like that everything is transparent — the provably fair system really gives me confidence in the games. Deposits and withdrawals with Bitcoin have always gone through fast for me. The only downside is the limited game selection, but their exclusive slots are actually fun and different. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re into crypto gambling.
