I hope you enjoyed learning about the different ways you can play BINGO to help children learn. Check out our BINGO resources on the Twinkl website: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/l/aj32d • BINGO is a simple, yet versatile game, and can be adapted to teach pretty much anything. Let’s start with a quick summary of how to play bingo. • Everyone gets a BINGO card. The person running the game calls out a series of numbers. Players will listen for a number that appears on their bingo card and cover those squares with counters. When a player has a row completely covered in counters, they call out ‘BINGO’ to win the game. • Simple, right? However, you can also mix things up. • The version of BINGO we just looked at requires students to concentrate, listen, skim their card and identify information. We used numbers as an example, but you can replace this with pretty much anything. For example, words to build vocabulary whether in English, another language, or any other subject. This is a good way to teach students new words. Or you can try pictures, to teach learners to identify things they can see visually, such as shapes, the time or colours in other languages. • One way to make this a bit more challenging for the learner is by adding in the need to answer a question, or solve a problem. You can do this by changing either what’s on the card or what’s being called out. • For instance, in maths learners could use cards that have a sum written on them, instead of an answer, so they need to listen to the number and calculate whether it answers any of their sums. Or they could have the numbers on their cards, with the caller calling out the sums, so they need to find and cover the correct answer. • Using this technique you can turn your BINGO game into a revision activity for nearly any subject. Just put the answers in the boxes and call out the questions, or vice versa. Whether you’re teaching science, history, maths, English, music, or any other subject, this can be a nice fun way for students to recall their prior learning. • Another twist you can add to BINGO is that instead of calling out prompts, answers or numbers, students can have bingo cards that require them to complete tasks. For example, in PE students could play exercise BINGO, where they need to do an exercise for 30 seconds in order to mark it off. • Or, you can play getting to know you bingo as a fun icebreaker, where children need to walk around and talk to each other to find people that match the criteria in their boxes. When they do they can write their names in to cross it off. You can even play book bingo to encourage children to read different kinds of books, so they can progressively tick the challenges off their cards. • And that’s all for now.
