There are different ways to play Bingo. Here are some ideas:
1. You call a word, the students look for the identical word on their bingo cards.
2. You call a word, the students look for the definition on their bingo cards. This can be done vice versa. This is excellent for practicing vocabulary.
3. You call a word, the students look for the picture on their bingo cards. If you say "banana," the students look for the picture of the banana.
Decide on a game based on whether you have adults or children in your classes, and their skill level.
I always make a call sheet. I make it in Microsoft Word using table commands. Whatever I intend to call goes on the call sheet.
I am careful to make bingo cards that are all different.
Every person, including me, gets a paper cup with dried lima beans. I call a word, and I put a bean on it. Every student who has the word puts a bean on it. The students try to get 5 words in a line: horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When a person does, he/she shouts "Bingo!" I tell all the students to keep the beans on their bingo cards. I check the card of the one who claimed bingo. If he/she is correct, I announce the winner. If not, I point out the mistakes and the game continues. To play a new game, the students take all the beans off their cards, I clear the call sheet, and we start again.
I hope this helps.
