A game of Word Bingo is the perfect lesson for children who are blending sounds together and learning to read – a progression from the Sound Bingo tutorial previously shared on our blog.

In a game of Sound Bingo, children will draw a letter cards in turn and sound them out before matching them to the letters on their respective Bingo cards – as per traditional Bingo format. Word Bingo differs in that instead of matching a sound, children will be matching a word.

To play this at home, you’ll need Bingo cards, matching word cards and game pieces. Each player will receive a Bingo card; word cards are then drawn from a pile and read out loud (children can take turns to do this so that they all have a chance to read), and the matched to the words on the Bingo cards with playing pieces. This is repeated until someone has filled their card or achieved three in a row.

Watch a quick tutorial by My Montessori Works to see how the game is played:

What’s great about Word Bingo game is that it can be adapted to suit the learning stage of the children in question – make the game more challenging with consonant blend words, double vowels or longer, more challenging words.
