laminates and cuts out 1 copy to make into a master set, then cuts out

the other 5 copies into individual pictures and puts them in an envelope.

Each student gets a Guy Fawkes bingo board and a handful of

pictures from the envelope. They choose 6 different pictures and place

them face up on their bingo board. The teacher puts the master set

into a bag and draws out the cards one by one, saying the words.

Everybody listens. If they have that word card on their board, they turn

� Circle the correct word to complete the sentence, a/an or the. Circle no article if none is needed.

In 1603, Queen Elizabeth the First died and James the First became King of England. King James was 1) a / the / no article Protestant. English Catholics, who had been treated badly during Elizabeth the First’s reign, hoped King James would be more tolerant of them. Unfortunately, James the First was not.

2) A / The / no article group of Catholic young men were angry about this and wanted 3) a / the / no article revenge on the King. Robert Catesby and his friends came up with 4) a / the / no article plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament on November 5th, 5) a / the / no article day King James and all 6) a / the / no article members would be opening Parliament. They hoped to kill the King and other important people too.

First, 7) a / the / no article conspirators hired the building next to the Houses of Parliament and got into 8) a / the / no article cellar. Next, they put 9) a / the / no article thirty-six barrels of gunpowder there. These barrels were to be exploded on November 5th by 10) a / the / no article man named Guy Fawkes.

But then 11) a / the / no article plot went wrong. Some of 12) a / the / no article conspirators became worried that innocent people would be hurt in 13) an / the / no article attack.

How How How How To Make A GuyTo Make A GuyTo Make A GuyTo Make A Guy

Guy Fawkes Night is still commemorated each year in Britain, when “a guy”, a dummy of Guy Fawkes, is burnt on a bonfire. In the past, children traditionally made their own guy and walked through the streets carrying him and asking passers-by for "a penny for the guy." The children used the money they collected to buy fireworks for Guy Fawkes Night. On Guy Fawkes Night, the guy was put on top of the bonfire and was then set alight. These days, most bonfire events are publicly organised and so guy-making skills are dying out!
