Foreign Language Bingo Card Maker
Playing bingo is an activity suitable for foreign language classes. This is because bingo is simple to learn, highly adaptable, and, particularly importantly, does not need the teacher to obtain costly specialist materials or resources.
When playing the game of bingo in foreign language classes, the key thing to remember is that it should be played in the foreign language. This is because playing the game in the foreign language is a helpful learning challenge.
As far as the game is concerned, each student in the class is given a bingo card, and the game is played in the usual fashion with the teacher acting as the bingo caller. However one important difference from the normal game is that the bingo cards are printed containing words instead of the usual numbers. Since the words will of course all be in the foreign language, they are meant to aid students in improving their knowledge of the foreign language.
Variations of foreign language bingo include variants where the bingo calls are made in English, and the students must find matching foreign language words, or using bingo cards written in English and making the the calls in the foreign language, or even mixing the foreign language and English for the cards and calls.
Of course, the key question that foreign language teachers will have is how to get hold of foreign language bingo cards. Luckily, this is very easy and cheap: You can download a bingo card maker program, to your PC, and then you can print out customized bingo cards with the absolute minimum of effort. You might be very pleasantly surprised at how well the game of bingo can work in language teaching - why not give it a try?
