Introduction

"

!"

M ost of us have had the pleasure of completing a row of plastic chips on a game card and triumphantly calling out that word. So why not bring the excitement of this fun and familiar game into the classroom, and use it to strengthen literacy skills?

Language Arts Bingo includes 10 Bingo games that provide fast-paced practice in key areas of your language arts curriculum. Students build word-recognition skills, develop their understanding of grammar concepts, and strengthen their spelling skills. They'll also build listening skills and learn teamwork. And all the while, they're having a good time!

GREAT FOR SECOND-LANGUAGE LEARNERS!

Students new to English can be very successful with the games in this book. The games will provide nonthreatening opportunities to learn words and grammar structures. Pair second-language learners with native English speakers. You might play the same game several times with these students, to reinforce the concepts introduced.

TEACHER DIRECTIONS Simple directions, tips, and extension activities help you and your students make the most of each game.

CALL LIST This is a list of all the words the "caller" will call out during the game. (Cut along the dotted lines and put all the slips in an envelope before you begin to play.)

EIGHT STUDENT BINGO CARDS

Copy and cut apart the cards so that each student gets one. There are eight different cards, so several students will win at the same time. (Pair students together if you want to reduce the number of winning cards at one time.)

MAKE-YOUR-OWN GAMES In addition, we've included four blank Bingo grids on page 7 so that students can make their own games on any topic!

Language Arts BINGO ? Virginia Musmanno, Scholastic Teaching Resources

Enlarge the cards if you wish. You might also laminate the cards for extra durability.

5

N Students might enjoy being the caller as well.

N Give small prizes such as pretzels, animal crackers, stickers, or mini-erasers.

N Make up a sentence for each word called to put words in context and build vocabulary.

N Store the master call list, envelope with call-list words, Bingo cards, and chips in a large, self-sealing plastic bag.

6

Basic Instructions

These simple instructions apply to all 10 Bingo games.

1 Make two copies of the call list. Keep one copy intact, and cut apart the second one and place the slips in an envelope. (Making one of these on colored paper makes checking easier.)

2 Make copies of the bingo cards, cut them apart, and distribute so that each student or pair of students can have one. Distribute chips or markers.

3 Review the object of the game with students. Explain that a winner has five covered blocks in a straight line (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally).

4 Pull words from the call envelope and read them aloud. (As you go, place each slip on your master call list.) Students find the "answer" or corresponding word (depending on the game) on their card and add a chip or marker. Pause long enough between words to allow players to search their cards. Remind students to cover only one square for each word called.

5 When "Bingo" is declared, tell students to hold their cards. Say, "Clear your cards," once winners have been confirmed. Place the called words back in the envelope and, if desired, play again!

MARKERS

With a paper cutter, cut colored construction paper into small squares for chips. Keep the chips in sets of about 40 in individual envelopes or self-sealing bags. Students might also use the following as markers:

N Raisins N Cinnamon red-hots N Small buttons

N Candy-coated chocolates

N Dried beans

Send the call list home for extra spelling practice before playing the

game. To simplify the

game, write the words on the board as you call them.

8

Advanced Word Family Bingo

The word families encountered in upper-grade reading are not always easily decodable or recognizable. Quick recognition of these spelling patterns is the focus of this game.

DIRECTIONS 1 Practice first by making copies of the call list (one per student). Have students circle or highlight the word-family "chunk" (ending sound) in each word. Taking turns, as a class or with partners, students should pronounce all words.

10?11

2 Play the game according to the Basic Instructions given on page 6: You say the word, and students place their markers on

the corresponding word family on their card.

TALK BACK

Pair students and pass out one Bingo card to each pair. Taking turns, one student reads a word chunk; the other provides a word with that chunk. Repeat for all chunks on the card. Reverse roles with another card. Or play the game with you as one player, and the class as the other.

Try

THIS!

BRAINSTORM

Write a word-family chunk on the board. In teams of three, have students write as many words as they can think of in that family. Set a time limit of a minute or two, then see which team has generated the most words.

SILLY SENTENCES

Ask pairs of students to write several silly rhyming sentences using words from the call list or from a particular word family. For example: On a clear morning last year, I shook with fear because a big smear appeared on my ear!

LIMERICKS

Word-family lists lend themselves nicely to limericks. Read a few limericks to familiarize the class with the format. Create a class limerick on the board using one of the word families. Or have pairs create their own limericks to read to the class!
