BINGO Call Card – TR 2
GRADE 6 LESSON 21
Exemplary Writing Assessment
Bingo CALL CARD
Teacher Instructions: The teacher provides instructions to students before beginning the game. Preteaching about listening skills and expectations will help the game run more smoothly. The teacher uses
one table for each game played. The teacher will call off one square at a time while students check their
cards and mark off or cover the item called. (Every card does not have every item.) The teacher must
check off each item it is read in order to keep track of which items are still available to call out. The
teacher moves along quickly to help students practice listening skills and to keep students on task.
When a student matches five across, vertically, or horizontally, the student must call “Bingo”. (If more
than one person calls Bingo, the teacher may check each card and award multiple prizes for the round.)
The teacher checks five in a row against the answers called. If answers match those called out by the
teacher, the student wins the game. The game may be repeated using the same card as long as the
teacher calls out items in a different order.
