⭐ Students should be familiar with grammar and editing rules. The error and editing example sheet isn't meant to take the place of teaching the rules, only reminding students what errors look like.

⭐ Please note this is played differently than regular Bingo. The teacher doesn't call out different errors; instead, students work on their own to find the errors and edits. Depending on the quality of students' rough drafts, multiple Bingos or coverall may not be possible.

Depending on the editing level and writing levels of your students, the Bingo game (including giving teacher instructions) can take anywhere from 45-75 minutes.
