We’re just gonna play a different type of bingo, which more “student friendly”, that is “Lines Bingo”.  In Lines Bingo there are many kinds of grids people usually play, like 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 grids. But for the starter, i'd like to choose the 3x3 grids.

And this story bellow can be an example why i never can get enough of teaching them :D.
