I just wanted to write and let you know that I'm having a great time using the bingos from your book. I teach an upper level ESOL class and the students are thoroughly enjoying the grammar bingos. It doesn't matter whether I use an easier level bingo, i.e. The Count/Non-Count, or a harder one, Gerund and Infinitive, the students learn a great deal and have a good time too.
