Hagan preguntas abiertas sobre los temas de las tarjetas a sus compañeros. - Once the student answers, they sign the bingo square that corresponds to the topic they discussed. Then, the other person can ask a question and repeat the process. Students will move around the room asking questions and getting different signatures on their bingo cards. Students should try to get a BLACKOUT (getting a signature on each square) or BINGO (by asking students questions about pictures in a row). Do whatever you have more time for (blackout takes longer).
Después de hablar con una persona, escribe tu nombre en su tarjeta. Cambia compañeros y haga una pregunta a nuevo compañero. La meta es obtener un lotería de cinco cuadrados (o un blackout).
