Title: Games for second language learning. Illustrated by Vincent R. Evangelista.

In advance, the leader should prepare a master list of names in the general class or type of objects to be used in the game.
eg. fruits or vegetables
Ask each player to draw 16 squares on a piece of paper, like this:

carrots onions lettuce cabbage
peas beans potatoes tomatoes
spinach squash radishes beets
turnips cucumbers celery asparagus

Then tell the group the classification you have chosen and that as soon as the signal is given each player should begin to fill in the squares with the names of things in the classification, one to a square. They should try to fill all the squares in the 10 minutes allowed.
At the end of the time limit, give the signal to stop writing. Then, as you read the names from the master list, have each player put a cross through each name that appears on his own paper. As soon as he has crossed out four names in a line in any direction (across, down, or diagonally), a player may call Bingo and is the winner of that round.
