THIS BINGO IS FOR NOUN-VERB STRESS

I came out with this idea while I was teaching pronunciation in Mexico. The idea is to make a bingo game contrasting the the pronunciation of nouns and verbs with the same spelling.(Use a stress mark (´)to show the students that nouns are stressed in the first syllable and verbs on the second).

Examples:

prógress-progréss
présent-presént
prótest-protést
cóntract-contráct
désert-desért
rébel-rebél
súspect-suspéct
cónsole-consóle
cónflict-conflíct
récord-recórd
cónvict-convíct
ínsert-insért
pérmit-permít
etc.

When you name the cards let the students listen to the words but not look at them. This way they will be able to distinguish the difference.

MINIMAL PAIRS BINGO

The same can be done to teach minimal pairs.

Examples:

sit-seat
but-bat
bought-boat
saw-so
base-vase
etc.

P.D.MAKE THIS GAME INTERESTING BY GIVING SMALL PRIZES TO THE WINNERS.
