Bingo
(the ‘Words from Italian’ version)
Preparation:
• If you and your students don’t already have copies of 2009 Spell It!, you
can download the booklet from: http://www.myspellit.com/downloads.html
and make copies.
• Print the attached blank bingo cards – one per student.
• Print the attached bingo ‘balls’ and cut out each word OR if you prefer,
simply print the bingo ‘balls’ sheets and choose words at random from the
sheets to call out.
• Each student will require a highlighter or bingo marker.
Classroom activity:
• On ‘game day’, hand out one blank bingo card to each student.
• Have the students pick words at random from the ‘Words from Italian’
section of Spell It! and print the words on the squares of the bingo
cards. (The idea is to have each student end up with different words from
the Words from Italian section of Spell It! on their bingo cards.)
• Place your bingo ‘balls’ in a bag or hat. Pick one out at random and read the
word aloud. (And, if you wish, write the word on the board.)
• Students who have the same word on their bingo card will highlight/mark it.
• Pick another bingo ‘ball’ from the hat and read it out loud and continue this
process until a student shouts out ‘Bingo’.
• A student wins the game if he/she has three (3) words in a row, horizontally,
vertically or diagonally – AND has spelled the words correctly on his/her
card.
