Students choose nine of the adjectives and write them on their bingo card.
The teacher randomly calls out adjectives from the list and writes them down.
If the student has the opposite of that adjective, he/she can cross the word off their bingo
card.
The winner is the student who gets three opposite adjectives in a row. The adjectives must
be in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
You can also play with the winner having all nine squares crossed off.
As soon as the winner has a winning sequence, he or she shouts out Bingo!
The teacher then checks the bingo card by going through their written adjectives.
Many rounds can be played.
Variations and extensions:
Students can play in small teams.
Students can be the callers.
Adjectives can be changed to match your lesson.
Students can use some of the adjectives to make a story.
