If you generally work with large classes you might want to make 4 sets of 12. There are 12 bingo cards in each set on this site. If you are practicing q&a as well, make sure you drill the language very well before letting the groups play. Once you've played in groups a few times it will be easier.

Another option is to elect a group leader to read for each round. Then draw cards one at a time and say the vocabulary word. Have the students look at their cards for 10-15 seconds and memorize them. You will see about 80% of the vocabulary appear before you get a winner. When all have been removed the student wins and shouts, 'OGNIB!' This is a great change of pace and will last longer than bingo. If one of the students choices comes up, they can erase their mark or remove their marker. Students choose five pictures and circle/place chips on them. This is just what it sounds like, Bingo in reverse.
