Other ways to play B.O.

Matching Game
 

Partner A holds all of the cards with the vocabulary words, and Partner B holds all of the cards with pictures.
 
Partner A first reads a card out loud and puts it down on the desk. Partner B shows the matching picture. For example, if Partner A puts down the card with the word “dress,” Partner B then matches it by putting down the card with the picture of a dress.  On the next turn, Partner B chooses a card  and Partner A responds.

Go Fish
 

Pairs of students mix up all the cards and each student takes five cards. The rest of the cards are placed face down in a stack on the desk. Students begin by looking for matching cards in their hands. (If they have any matches, they put them to one side.) The first student reads a card out loud or shows the picture. If the second student has the matching card, he or she gives it to the first student. The first student puts the two cards to one side on the desk and tries to make another match.
 

If the second student does not have the matching card, he or she says, “Go fish.” The first student then takes one card from the top of the stack. If it’s the matching card, the student puts the two cards to one side and tries to make another match. If it’s not the matching card, the student adds it to his or her hand and the other student takes a turn. The first player without any cards in his or her hand wins.
