Today teachers use sight word lists in a variety of classroom activities designed to help children learn to recognize the words quickly. As well as normal reading practice, the words are also used on flash cards and in classroom games such as sight word bingo. The latter being a version of bingo, designed to be played by students (the teacher takes the part of bingo caller), but using bingo bonus cards printed with sight words rather than the usual set of numbers.

It is possible to buy preprinted sight word bingo cards, but many teachers prefer to print their own. This not only can work out cheaper in the long run, but this way the teacher can choose the exact items that they want to appear on the bingo cards. Furthermore as students progress, other variants of bingo can also be introduced into classes, such as vocabulary bingo (teacher reads a definition, and students must find a matching word), phonemic awareness bingo (bingo cards with letters are used, teacher reads a word, and students must find the square with the same initial letter), and bingo for other subjects such as math.

objective of the game:-

The aim of the game is to finish a pre-determined pattern with the least number of calls. The patterns to be filled are are decided upon before the game begins. The pattern can be a full vertical, a X ,a horizontal, a box, a diagonal, or what is called as the black out (this involves filling out the entire card)

The Bingo Card:-

A basic bingo card has the alphabets B-I-N-G-O printed across the top, each of the alphabet refers to five columns. The columns have numbers ranging from one to seventy-five.

The 75 numbers are divided equally between the five columns. The column with B printed above it has the numbers one to fifteen, I has the numbers sixteen to thirty, N column from thirty-one to forty-five, G has numbers ranging from forty six to sixty, the last column O contains numbers from sixty one to seventy five. Each of the columns should contain only 5 numbers from the above specified range.

The card should form a grid and the middle cell, that is the third row of the column N should be empty.

After completing the above prerequisites you can start playing the game. The rules of the game are:-

The game begins when the host intimates everybody of the pattern that should be formed.

Then the host will announce the first alphabet, from the letters B-I-N-G-O and then will announce a number from zero to seventy.

Look for the announced numbering your card, if you spot it then mark it immediately.

The announcing of numbers continue until some one completes the pre-determined pattern.

If you have completed the specified pattern, then yell out ‘bingo’ immediately to indicate that you have completed the pattern. When a person yells bingo, it is a sign that the game is won.

The winning card is then verified to check whether all numbers in the pattern have been marked correctly.

The game can end with a single pattern or continue for multiple patterns or until black-out as described above.

The prize is given immediately after a person yells bingo.
