Once someone calls Bingo, post the problems that you have called on the board so your students can see them. To play, you read the problem and your students choose the advice on their board that best addresses the situation. They can be realistic or ridiculous, depending on the personality of your class. These advice phrases should start with “I would…” (Hint: the more general the advice, the more likely your students will be able to match them to a problem.) Your part is to call out problems that a person could have. To play, students fill their boards with advice they might give a friend.
It not only challenges them to put together conditional sentences, it makes them think logically about what to do in a given situation. When I am teaching conditionals, I like to play problem and advice Bingo with my students.
