Sentence endings I will go to university. it rains tomorrow. I work very hard. I will buy a new mp3 player. I meet the right person. I will go to the beach. I travel the world. I go to the beach. I will work very hard. I will watch a horror film. I watch a horror film. I will visit Buckingham Palace. I will make pizza and chips. I will be tired in class. I am tired in class. I eat too much chocolate.

To avoid more than one student having the same card, this activity could be done in groups of seven with one student reading out the sentence beginnings. At Step 4, the students could be asked to predict their sentence beginnings.

Sentence beginnings If I pass my exams, I will drive to work if I will pass my exams if If I win some money, I will get married if If the weather is nice, I will learn about new cultures if I will swim in the sea if If I go to university, If I go to the cinema, I will feel scared if If I go to London, If I cook dinner tonight, If I stay up late, My teacher will be angry if I will feel sick if

Review the form of the first conditional on the board, e.g. If you listen carefully, I’ll tell you what to do. Tell the students that they are going to play a game of Bingo. Explain that each student will be given a card containing six boxes. In each box there is the ending of a first conditional sentence. Explain that you will read out the beginning of a sentence and that if a student has the correct ending on their card they can cross it off. The first student to cross off all six boxes shouts Bingo and is the winner. Give out the Bingo cards and ask the students to read their sentence endings quietly. Do the first sentence as a class to check that the students have understood. Read out the sentence beginnings (in any order) until one student shouts Bingo. Tick or number the sentence beginnings you have read out so that you can check the answers afterwards. Ask that student to read back their sentence endings to check they are correct.
