ACTIVITY SHEET 23

Beego Game

Divide the students into pairs. Distribute a copy of the BEEGO sheet to each pair.
Have students make their own game board by cutting up copies of BEEGO sheet, rearranging the categories, and pasting them on a piece of heavy paper or card stock. Cut up one sheet of BEEGO categories to put a bowl.
Have each pair select one of the "square" categories from the bowl (sight unseen). Depending on the number of students in your class, a few pairs of students may have to select two topics in order for all the categories to be included, or if the class size is fairly small, let each student draw one topic with only a few students having to do more than one.
Provide time for each pair to decide how to present their selected topic. They may pantomime the subject, make up a poem or riddle, or give an interesting fact or two. However they choose, it must be done so the class can guess the category. Allow one minute for each presentation.
Randomly select each pair to perform. Caution students that they must wait until the entire presentation is completed before announcing their guess of the category. You might have students raise their hand when they have an idea.
Provide an enlarged list of the categories where all students can see it.
As categories are guessed, students cross off the squares on their game board, as one would play Bingo. However, when a complete sequence is obtained, students must say "BEEGO!"
