Following the popularity of Blockbusters resources, here is the template I use in my lessons. Add the first letters of words in a phrase, images or words to the ‘Add text, initials or picture here’ on the yellow hexagons. In teams (red and blue), pupils aim to make a continuous line of their colour horizontally. This can be as long or as short as they want, as long as it’s continuous. The other team will aim to block them. When they have chosen a yellow hexagon and have answered correctly, click on that hexagon (on your computer). Then click on the relevant team colour to make it change to either blue or red. Instructions are in the notes section of the PowerPoint.

Pupils each have a copy of the Word document (bingo grid). Either allow pupils to listen once or twice to fill in the words they hear and understand into any of the squares (there is no need at all to complete the grid). Partners check they have written the target language and English correctly in each square. Then, using the PowerPoint, reveal one square at a time. Pupils mark each other's grids. Whatever score is under each square is what that pupil gets for each grid they've filled in correctly. The winner is the pupil of the pair who has the highest score.
