At the start of a Shakespeare unit, I like to start with some easy games to assuage the fears of some intimidated students.  To familiarize them with common, high-frequency Shakespeare vocab, we play a little Lingo-Bingo!

To play, students receive a (1) blank Bingo board and a (2) list of word to cut and glue randomly onto the board (randomly needs to be reiterated to some students or they will put them in order, and a few will end up with identical boards).

There is a (3) list of modern words for the teacher to cut up and put into a sac to be pulled out at random, as well as a (4) chart of translations for reference.
