Picture bingo

RULES OF THE GAME
The game can be played in class as a didactic tool for revision and consolidation of the language or as a game to play with friends at home. It can also be played as a memory game.
Picture Bingo can be played in 4 different ways:
1 – picture-picture
2 – word-word
3 – picture-word
4 – word-picture
One bingo board is given to the players so that they can see the words or the pictures. Then one player at a time takes one card and after pronouncing the word correctly, the card is shown to the others. If the word is presented on the players’ board then the picture or the word on their own bingo board should be covered.
The winner is the player who covers all the words or pictures on their own board first.
The teacher’s booklet contains suggestions on how to play the game in different ways.
