15 min.
 
5 votes: 5-star
Brief Outline: Students try to get bingo by asking for favors/permission using `Can you/Can I...` questions.

 

Materials Needed:

 

Detailed Explanation:

  1. After giving the handout to students, demonstrate how to play (step 3) with the JTE on the blackboard.
  2. Explain to students that four crosses in a row make one bingo (XXXX) and four cicles in a row make one bingo (OOOO). However, a bingo line can not be a mix of crosses and circles (XXOO). Once a square is circled or crossed it can not be changed.
  3. Students walk around, find a partner and question each other:
    • A: "Can I..?/Can you..?" (fill in the '...' using the language from a square on the handout)
    • *students play Janken.*
    • If A wins, B responds: "Sure." Then, A circles (O) the square used.
    • If A loses, B responds, "Sorry." Then, A crosses out (X) the square used.
    • A and B reverse roles, do the dialogue again, and then find new partners.

  • (Jan 19, 2012) Rezz said: Thanks a lot for this one, I needed something specifically focusing on "can" requests for Speaking Plus 4 and this was the only activity I found that really matches it. Great idea!
