- Ask participants
to choose a theme, such as literacy, home, school, children, etc.
- Give each participant
a Bingo Card (attached), or ask them to make their own.
- Ask participants
to call out 16 words related to that theme, one word at a time-for
example, kitchen, garden, etc.
- Write each word
on the board or a flipchart. At the same time, ask each participant
to write the word in any of the boxes.
- Call out the
words at random. The first participant to get a straight line and
call out "Bingo!" is the winner.
- You can play
this game using French or an Aboriginal language. Choose a topic like
animals or the land, or another topic where people might be familiar
with the words. You can call the game another name, if that is more
appropriate for your community.
