Method1 Introduce the activity by writing the

following sentence on the board and askingthe class if tl-rey can identify a word whichshould not be there:Ottce you ltove get to tlrc airport, give ttre n coIIarul I'il cottte to pick yut up. (lnve is the wordwhich should not be there).

2 Divide the class into pairs.3 Give each pair a playing board, a copy of

the sentence sheet, a dice and two colouredcounters.

4 Each student takes a counter and places itin one of the two shaded spaces at thecorners of the board.

5 Both the students read sentence 1. Theyshould decide what the extra, unnecessaryword is, but they should not tell their

partner. They should then look for thatword on the playing board.

6 Both students in turn then roll the dice andmove towards the word they chose on theboard, space by space. They can movehorizontally (left or right) or vertically (upor down) but not diagonally. They are notallowed to cross any of the spacescontaining a M .7 The first player to reach what they think isthe correct word writes their initials next tothat word. They must move the sarnenumber of spaces as decided by their dice.For example, if they are four spaces awayfrorn their chosen word and they throw afive, they will have to overshoot the spacecontaining that lvord, then lvait for theirnext turn to try to throw a one. If theythrow a six, they can overshoot the spaceand then double bacLon themselves toclaim it.

8 Stages 5-7 are then repeated for the othersentences on the sentences sheet.

9 Allow them about 15-20 minutes to playthe garne. At the end of this time, gothrough the answers with them. Thestudent in each pair who identified andreached the most correct answers is thewinner.

Follow-upThe students can work on a Paper 3, Part 4 taskusing a past paper or practice tests book.Remind them that in this part of the exam,not all lines in the text contain a mistake.K"y1 since 2 got 3 going 4 who 5 much6 for 7 as 8 on 9 just 10 more 11 out12ln 13 that 14 most 15 by 16 up17 they 18 through36 Word forms bingoTime: 20 minutesExom focus: Poper 3, Port 5.

2 Divide the class into six teams.3 Give each team a bingo card.4 Explain that they should look at their cards

and decide which form of the word in boldwould fit into each sentence. They shouldwrite the correct form of the word in theappropriate space. Allow them about 5

- 10

minutes for this.5 Then explain that you are going to pick

some cards from an envelope. On each cardthere is a word which you will read aloud.If that word matches exactly one of thewords they have used to cornplete one oftheir sentences, they should tick that wordon their card.

6 As soon as they have ticked all their words,they should shout'Bingo!'.

7 Take the rvord cards one at a time from theenvelope and read each word clearly, twice.

8 The first team to shout'Bingo!' is thewinner, providing the answers they havewritten on their cards match exactly thewords 1'ou have called out.

Alternotive octivilyIf you prefer to make this a student-centredactiviry divide the class into groups of seven.Six students in each group have their ownbingo card, the seventh has the word cardsand calls out the words.

. If they are right, they stay where they arewhile the other team plays, and then theyroll their dice again.

. If they are wrong, they must move backdouble the number on their dice. Thereferee must tell tfem that they arewrong, but cannot give them the correctanswer.

. If they land on a space which has alreadybeen answered, they do not have to givethe word form again. Instead, they moveforward to the next unanswered space. Ifthey get this wrong, they move backdouble the number of their last roll of thedice.
