La comida - Frutas y verduras - Matching, Memory & Bingo Game Cards

This is a classic game of matching cards. I use it as an inquiry activity before I actually teach the vocabulary. It is designed to introduce and practice vocabulary related to fruits and vegetables. Students can play three different games: matching, memory and bingo.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MATCHING GAME:

• Print the document one-sided, laminate it and cut out the cards.
• Split the students into groups.
• Give each group a set of cards.
• Ask the students to match the picture cards with the word cards.
• Time the activity and count the points for each group.
• Repeat at the beginning of the class, or between activities, until the students are able to match all the pairs correctly.

This is a quick, simple way for the students to activate their prior knowledge, make connections to the languages they speak through cognates, cooperate and learn from each other.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEMORY GAME:

• Print the document one-sided, laminate it and cut out the cards.
• Split the students into groups.
• Give each group a set of cards.
• Ask the students to put all the cards face down.
• Students take turns to pick up two cards to match the picture with the words.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BINGO GAME:

• Print the document one sided and laminate.
• Cut out all the word cards.
• Cut in half the picture boards to make 4 bingo boards
• Put the word cards in a pile face down.
• Take one card and read the word. The student who has the picture matching the word says “BINGO!”
• The first student to complete his board wins.
