Modality Bingo has been designed as a group game, but you could easily use it to assess student understanding of modal verbs, by taking a photograph of their completed boardgame. Place the student's name card beside the game board and photograph their finished work. There is also an answer card included in this game if you would like students to self-correct their work.
