The New Year's Bingo is a fun warm-up activity about New Year's.

How to play: There are 4 identical bingo cards on one page, so you need a pair of scissors to cut it up. Students mark every statement that is true about themselves. If someone has four in a line (horizontally, vertically, or maybe even diagonally), they shout bingo. Wait until most of the students have a bingo. Then ask a couple of them to read which statements got them a bingo and encourage them to discuss them. Where are you going for this New Year's Eve? What are your superstitions about the New Year?

It includes a one-page-version as well, if you want to project it or use it online.

Of course, you can play the New Year's Bingo in many different ways. In another version, students have to transform the statements into questions, then they work in pairs and mark their partner’s answers. Or the whole class can get up and walk around and find someone who agrees with the statement for each one of them.

It is recommended for older teenagers and adults and from A2 level.
