Students distribute game boards &amp; counters.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">2. The caller shuffles the deck then flips the top card and reads it to the players.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">3. In their minds or aloud to a partner the students convert the formal speech to a contraction.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">4. They then search their board to see if they have the contraction called. If they do, they place a counter on it. If not, they wait for the next turn.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">5. Play continues in this way until one of the boards has all contractions covered.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">6. On placing the final counter the first student to call \u2018BINGO\u2019 is the winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #800000;\"><strong>Variations<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">1. The first player to get a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line is the winner.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">2. The first player to make a capital N or X wins. I use two different colored counters for this version.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">3. Do a web search for \u201cbingo patterns\u201d. There are lots of different ways to play. Get the students to pick which ones they\u2019d like to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_517\" style=\"width: 332px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-517\" class=\"wp-image-517 size-full\" title=\"contractions cards\" src=\"https:\/\/goteachthis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/contractions-cards.png\" alt=\"contractions cards\" width=\"322\" height=\"470\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999999;\">Contractions Game Cards<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> <script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- New GTT 1 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3782706448212144\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7122541773\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #800000;\"><strong>During the Game<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">1.
