I had the idea to make a sight word bingo game using my daughters’ high frequency sight words. She came home a few days ago saying that she had so much fun playing bingo at school, but that she never wins. My daughter’s teacher sent home a key ring of kindergarten sight words for her to practice at the beginning of the year. These are words. ★ Superb memory building with memory game! Learning Sight Words has never been so much fun! Using all touch features which kids love with playful sounds and professionally recorded voiceovers, this. Sight word bingo is like regular bingo but without numbers, it uses words. The words you select are aligned to your child’s level at school and reading. How to play Sight Word Bingo Each child gets a different bingo card. Play bingo with everyday sight-words kids need to knowlike help, should, shall and goes! Our game is played just like regular bingo, only when you call out a sight-word, kids cover it on their cards. Game includes 36 bingo cards, 75 calling cards.

Learning to read and write is a complex process that requires many different skills. Although it is complex, it can be a joyful and empowering experience for children…

Mastering the letter sounds and how to sound out words are important aspects of learning how to read. Yet, there are certain words that just don’t “play fair.” These “unfair” words are not intuitively phonetic, which makes them very difficult to read and write. For these tricky words it is best for children to simply “memorize” them visually so that they can begin to automatically and successfully read and write them. Many of these words are frequently used in reading and writing, so it is helpful to give children a nice repertoire of words that they have mastered.

One simple way to achieve this is by playing sight word bingo. This game is appropriate for children who have already mastered all of the letter sounds and are starting to read simple words.

Game Instructions

For Bingo, call out words one at a time and have your students place markers on squares with words that match those called out. The winner is the first student to get four squares in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

The Board games can be played by rolling a die, moving a marker forward the number of spaces shown on the die and reading the word on the last square out loud. Alternatively, have students play 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' with the winner moving forward one space at a time (skip the 'Miss a Turn' squares) and reading out each word. The winner is the first student to reach the 'Finish' square.
