Bingo: Idea #6

Students love games. To practice letter sounds, try playing 'Bingo'. Bingo is an effective way to find out what sounds your child struggles with.


Here are 4 different ways that you could play the game:

OPTION #1: The teacher/parent says a letter sound from the Bingo card and then the student covers up the correct letter. 

OPTION #2: The teacher/parent says a word that begins with one of the letters on the Bingo board and then the student covers up the correct letter.

My last two ideas use a blank Bingo card, similar to the one below:

OPTION #3: The teacher/parent says a letter sound and then the student writes the corresponding letter in any available box on the Bingo card.

OPTION #4: The teacher/parent says a word and then the student has to write the letter it begins with in any available box on the Bingo card.

Be sure to take note of the sounds your student doesn't know!

***On the first Bingo card the letters A and L are missing. A and L tend to be the first sounds that students master.
