Bingo mingle

I used this for teaching Present Perfect tense. It is just like bingo, but involves the students mingling and asking questions.

  • In a 4 or 5 by 5 grid write statements like 'Has never been to Colombia’, or ‘Has been to the cinema twice this month’ in each cell and so on until your grid is filled.
  • You might want to have different Bingo cards to create more variety.
  • Students will then mingle as a whole class and ask each other questions to try to fill the grid up.
  • Standard Bingo rules apply about winning the game. (Creating a row or column etc. with answered questions)

You can of course adapt this for many different language points. It is a good way to introduce a game element in to the typical mingle or 'find someone who' activities. Good luck!

Hi Dominique-Jeanne There isn't anything to download for this activity - the activity (Bingo Mingle) is explained above. The teacher can decide exactly what sentences or structures to use. Thanks Cath TE Team
I found this website where anyone can create these type of bingo charts. Randomized and for free: https://gettingtoknowyoubingo.com/
