Photo Bingo

High-interest/Low-level reading, Elementary & Secondary School, Adult

Photo Bingo games, by Janie Haugen-McLane, feature the most common food and household items from the Photo Library. Students will love the full-color, realistic photos in Fresh Produce, Prepared Foods, Kitchen Items, and Bathroom Items. While the students play these games, they practice communication skills and build their vocabulary. The photos make it easy for students to identify and describe 9 items on each bingo board.

How Games Work
To play one of the games, the bingo caller holds each photo up without saying its name. Each student who has the item pronounces its name and states one fact. For example, if the teacher displays the broccoli card, two students may raise their hands. The first student says “broccoli” and states one fact, for example, “Broccoli is green.” The second student pronounces the word again and gives a different fact, such as, “Broccoli is a vegetable.”
