DETAILED EXPLANATION:
- After the class forms groups, each group fills in the bingo grid with random numbers from 1-50.
- Each group is given a copy of the "Have you ever...?" questions.
- The activity starts by groups taking turns asking the ALT questions and marking their bingo grids with either an "O" or "X" next the number on their bingo grid. NOTE: O = Yes X = No.
- The first group to receive five Os or Xs is the champion.
TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:
- Ask the group to ask the question together.
- Also, groups should shout, "BINGO!" or "BONGO!" when they receive one.

What is a bongo?
I used this activity recently with my 3rd year JHS students. I personalized a few questions to the class. They had a lot of fun with the ridiculous questions!
Sometimes I lied about stuff I did just to get them to laugh. Don't be afraid to fib to entertain the kids. c:
"each group fills in the bingo grid with random numbers from 1-50." how do these numbers work with the game? What role do they play?
I came here to learn what in the world a bongo is meant to be, and left with no more information.
I think that the Bongo is going to have to be one of the enduring mysteries of our times.
I think the "random numbers" are the questions in the document. And BINGO is 5 Os and BONGO is 5 Xs
