Ways to Play Sight Word Bingo
Traditional Bingo Game
Each player chooses a board and a handful of chips (or whatever they will use to cover the squares). Place the sight word cards in a stack face down.
One player (or parent) calls out the sight word on the card. Every player looks for the word on the card and covers it if they find it.
They have to say the word before they can cover it. The first player to get four across, down or diagonal is the winner.
Blackout Sight Word Bingo
Each player chooses a board and a handful of chips (or whatever they will use to cover the squares). Place the sight word cards in a stack face down. One player (or parent) calls out the sight word on the card. Every player looks for the word on the card and covers it if they find it. They have to say the word before they can cover it. The first player to cover their entire board (blackout) is the winner.
Writing Sight Word Bingo
I love adding the element of writing whenever I can.
My theory is that if kids can read the word they can write the word. But, most kindergarteners need a lot of writing practice.
For this version of the game, you will need to laminate your game board or slip it into a sheet protector. You will also need a fine tip dry erase marker.
I like this one from Amazon because it has an attached eraser.
You play the game the same way except instead of covering the game board with a chip each player has to write the word.

Help The games here are electronic files which are only available by download. Most modern computers already have a PDF reader installed, but if you aren't able to open or download the games, you may need to get Adobe Reader (free) or other PDF reader. Game Instructions For Bingo, call out words one at a time and have your students place markers on squares with words that match those called out. The winner is the first student to get four squares in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The Board games can be played by rolling a die, moving a marker forward the number of spaces shown on the die and reading the word on the last square out loud. Alternatively, have students play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' with the winner moving forward one space at a time (skip the 'Miss a Turn' squares) and reading out each word. The winner is the first student to reach the 'Finish' square. [Top] | |
