One particular activity that many ESL teachers have introduced into their classes is the game of ESL bingo. This is played almost exactly like a normal game of bingo (with the teacher taking the part of bingo caller, and the students each being given a bingo card or worksheet), but with one key modification: the bingo cards are printed with words relating to a chosen topic, rather than numbers. It is a good way to learn vocabulary, it's a lot of fun, and if the game itself is played entirely in When learning arithmetic, repeatedly doing sums for a long period, with little variation, can soon get boring for many students. Before long, their attention can start to wonder, and as we all know - this is not conducive to learning.
