Bowser Bingo is an English Day Camp ice-breaker activity for Elementary School students grades 3 – 6. This game is designed for large groups and provides an opportunity for students from various classes across multiple grade levels to practice English together. The activity utilizes four Bingo worksheets to accommodate the differences in English language abilities across the grade levels.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Students make pairs with other students (any grade!), ALTs, HRTs, or other Japanese teachers.
- In pairs, exchange greetings & self-introductions: “Hello! I’m ~.”
- One partner chooses a bingo box and asks a question: e.g. “Do you like Bowser?”
- If the other partner responds: “Yes, I do.” – write their name in the bingo box.**
- If your partner responds “No, I don’t.” – move to the next step.
- Switch roles and repeat while the other partner asks the question.
- Exchange closing greetings: “Thank you!”
- Find another partner and repeat the process.
- To win, students must fill in names in ALL the bingo boxes (not just a single row/column).
This looks great! Just one small fix. For the "Do you like games?" box, the katakana reads as gamu, ガム. It should be written as ゲーム. ガム is gum ;p
Haha oh, thank you. Fixed it!
