3.3 Interactive Game – ENGLISH BINGO (Corrected & Expanded) Game Title: English Bingo – Vocabulary & Speaking Challenge 1. Game Description

English Bingo is an interactive vocabulary-based game designed to promote active participation, listening comprehension, and spoken production. Students receive a Bingo card filled with English words. Instead of calling out numbers, the teacher uses definitions, synonyms, example sentences, short clues, or dictionary-style explanations. Students must identify the correct word on their card, mark it, and complete the challenge linked to that word (speaking, reading, or using it in a sentence).

This game increases motivation through challenge, chance, and small rewards, while reinforcing vocabulary comprehension and meaningful language use.

2. Learning Objective (Aligned with the Activity)

To create a gamified learning task using game mechanics (points, challenges, rewards, progression, and feedback) that promotes engagement and meaningful vocabulary practice in the English classroom.

3. Materials Needed

Printable Bingo cards (4×4 or 5×5 grid)

Vocabulary lists aligned to the current unit

A mini-dictionary or online dictionary (Cambridge, Oxford, Merriam-Webster)

Tokens or markers

Prize system (stickers, stars, class points)

4. How to Play (Step-by-Step Procedure) Step 1 — Preparation

The teacher selects 16–25 vocabulary words from the lesson. Each student receives a different Bingo card.

Step 2 — Dictionary-Style Clues

Instead of numbers, the teacher calls out clues such as:

“Definition: A place where you borrow books.”

“Synonym: Purchase.”

“Antonym: Small.”

“Example sentence: I usually _____ breakfast at 7:00 a.m.”

“Dictionary entry clue: (verb) to move quickly on foot.”

Students must find the matching word on their card.

Step 3 — Marking the Word

Students place a marker on the word. If they disagree or are unsure, they may consult the dictionary (encouraging autonomy).

Step 4 — Gamified Speaking Challenge

When a student marks a word, they must complete one of these mini-tasks:

Use the word in a complete sentence

Give a synonym or antonym

Spell the word aloud

Act it out

Read the dictionary definition

Step 5 — Winning Conditions

Students must complete one of the following:

One full row

One full column

Four corners

Full Bingo card (hard mode)

If multiple students win at the same time, a bonus challenge decides the final winner (students define a mystery word without saying it → Taboo-style).
