Bingo Lingo

Kids love games.  Some are educational and some are just plain fun.  Bingo can go either way. By using the weekly vocabulary, you can reinforce sight recognition of their words.  By using holiday words, you can fill the time when many students are absent for some reason. 

• There’s the regular up, down, or diagonal lines

• You can do the regular lines but require 2 bingos

• Four corners

• Small box (all the boxes around the free space)

• Large box (around all the edges)

• Equal sign (two parallel bingos on either side of the free space)

• Fence (B, N, and O only)

• Letter E (top row, middle row, and bottom row plus the B column)

• Blank out (cover all the spaces – but make sure you have plenty of options or everybody will be yelling Bingo! at once!)

• Now let’s get a little creative: Have everyone stand up.  When a component is called and it’s on their sheet, they sit down.  The last person standing with no squares covered is the winner.  Again, you need lots of numbers, letters, etc. for this to work.

If you want to make your own bingo games, I find www.bingobaker.com very easy to use.  It’s $24.95 for a lifetime membership, but it is SO totally worth it!  (If you find you don’t like it, the fee is refundable up to 30 days after purchase.) You can either save multiple mixed copies or post your game online (privately with a URL link) to play with your virtual students (Gee, I hope we don’t go back to that!)  You can use pictures, words, or anything you want to copy and paste into the bingo boxes.

Copy your completed, saved bingo games into EASEL by Teachers Pay Teachers, and you can add moveable “chips” to the game.  See my free sample for back-to-school HERE.  It takes a little finesse to get used to the system, but once you master it, I guarantee you’ll be hooked!

Now about those bingo games.  If you’ve been to the local firehouse or church that sponsors bingo games, you’ll know that there are many different combinations to play.

Have fun with all of these bingo options.  Come up with your own prizes depending on the season or the unit that you’re showcasing with your game.

See my other Bingo games HERE. As you can see, I'm not done with the monthly STEM bingos, but I'll get there eventually!

TOP FIVE Most popular products from All-American Teacher Tools

 

1. By far, the most popular products are my state histories.  Each state contains a Part I (early history and state symbols), and Part II (later history and famous people from the state).  Additionally, I have bundled the histories with a state project so your students can work independently and then report their findings to the class.  There is very little prep on your part!  And if you are new to the state where you are teaching, maybe you'll learn a thing or two, too!  Search MY STORE for your state.
2. I have several resources that will help your students to develop ideas for their creative writing - both fiction and nonfiction. I have resources for every age, so your little learners can get some inspiration, as well as your older learners.  Some are interactive, others are paper prompts.  All will increase creativity.  No longer do you need to read about SpaceX over and over!  Click HERE for your options.
3. If your administrator has asked you to include STEM into your traditionally non-STEM curriculum, like Social Studies or Language Arts, this resource is for you.  Every day, yes 366 of them, showcases a STEM even that occurred in history.  Students are encouraged to answer a related question either during discussion time or in their journals.  I have provided answers for you to guide their discussion.  THIS LINK is to the entire set.  Check my store for individual months - just search for the month that interests you.  SEPTEMBER is free so you can see what I mean! 
4. Project-based Learning Units allow the students to learn with a minimum of your preparation.  I have your ancient history topics covered - Rome, Egypt, Greece, China, Maya, and the Stone Age in this BUNDLED COLLECTION.  Or, you can click on each civilization individually.  All projects allow for individual exploration of the topic and include Internet links for your students so they don't waste time looking for the material they need. 
5. Sixth grade math can be difficult to learn and to teach.  Sometimes the materials associated with the curriculum can be just as confusing.  I made your life easier by creating an easy-to-understand PowerPoint for each topic covered in sixth grade.  CLICK HERE to see the complete list.  

You can see that this retired teacher has done quite a bit of work to make the lives of those still in the classroom easier.  If you have a topic you'd like me to consider, let be know by email or comments below.
