Ending the lesson
- Play Bingo with the whole class. Ask the children to take out the following picture cards: room, chair, TV, table, bed. Tell them to lay them on their desks face up and then turn one over, picture side down. Say the words at random and tell them to turn the corresponding cards face down. When they have turned all their cards down, they raise their hands. The game ends when you have said all the words and all the children raised their hands.
