How to host Italian Food Words bingo

1. 1

   Print the Italian Food Words cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with l'acqua, la carne, la pizza, la colazione and la mozzarella.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with il pepe, il pomodoro, l'olio d'oliva, il pesce and il salame; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Ask players to explain the article as they mark: “lo zucchero” because of the z, “gli gnocchi” because of gn, and “l'uva” because of the vowel.

4. 4

   Point out that “l'uva” is singular in Italian even though English says grapes, and that “il biscotto” is any cookie, not only the twice-baked kind.

5. 5

   Call the words in recipe order, such as “l'olio d'oliva”, “l'aglio”, “il pomodoro” and “il basilico”, and let the class guess the dish being made.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (l'aglio in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
