Pronunciation Bingo

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 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
