STEP 2: Give each group a mini Bingo board (with color circles and animal drawings)

STEP 3:You can spin it yourself or ask a student to do it.

STEP 4: The wheel will stop on a color and an animal (for example, “brown lion”).

STEP 5: The student must:

1. Place a bottle cap on the corresponding space.

2. Say aloud: "It's a brown lion".

STEP 6: The first group to align three bottle caps in a row wins the round and wins one point for their team.

At first, we planned a movement game like "Twister", but later we decided to make a table version inspired by Connect Four to fit a large class.

Then, we designed the Bingo board, created the spinner, tested the game, and made small changes to make it clearer and more fun.

We used simple materials like printed bingo cards, bottle caps, and a spinner, so teachers can easily reuse the material in future classes.

Also, Krashen (1982) explains that students learn better when activities reduce anxiety and create a good atmosphere (low affective filter).

Our game supports this idea because it lets students practice vocabulary in a enjoyable way.

It also reinforces OA 03 from the Chilean curriculum "Identify and use vocabulary related to familiar topics".
