How long French Food Words bingo lasts

How to host French Food Words bingo

1. 1

   Print the French Food Words cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with la baguette, le gâteau, l'eau, le fromage and la banane.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 44 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with l'oignon, le lait, le yaourt, le déjeuner and la tomate; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   After each call, ask “Tu aimes le fromage?” or a similar question and let a volunteer answer “J'aime” or “Je n'aime pas” before marking.

4. 4

   Point out that “le raisin” means grapes, not raisins, and that “la pomme de terre” is literally an apple of the earth.

5. 5

   Mention that “le déjeuner” is lunch in France but often breakfast in Quebec, where lunch is “le dîner”, so learners know both systems exist.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (le pain in this set's order) and a blackout near call 40; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
