- Make up a list of twenty-four words. This list could include names of objects, clothing, colors, countries and regions, descriptive adjectives, seasons and weather, or prepositions of place.
- Write the words on the board, and have students write them down in random order on their bingo cards, without repetitions. students write free in the center space.
- Dictate words at random. (You may repeat the word several times, depending on your students' abilities.) students find words on their cards and circle them. Keep a list of the words you call so that no words are repeated. (You will need the list to check cards when students call "Bingo.")
- The first student to circle five words in a row (or four words plus the free space) in any direction shouts, "Bingo!"
- Ask the student to read the circled words aloud. Check your list. If all the words are correct, the student wins.
