Minimal Pair
Playing games engages students in many ways. In this activity, students learn to listen very detailed to identify minimal pair words that differ only by one sound.
Minimal pair Bingo
Minimal pairs are paired words and phrases that sound almost exactly the same. These pairs will differ in just one sound or sometimes two sounds. Minimal pairs are very useful for both listening and speaking practice. Minimal pairs mainly improve your listening in that they train your ears to distinguish between two similar words which could otherwise be confusing to you. Within the Bingo game students will identify the minimal pair words pronounced by the teacher and mark them on their game cards.
