Distance Learning Coordinator and Technology Consultant Educational Service Unit #2 6320 N. Colorado Avenue Fremont, NE 68025 402-721-7710 dmwolfe@esu2.esu2.k12.ne.us As a special education teacher, Diane found that the icons in Word made it easy for her kids to use the program. She prefers Word because it lets her do everything she wants. “Since most of our businesses are using Word, it’s important to introduce it to our kids. Kids can easily make the transition from any program or platform, but we should do everything we can to help them. Besides, I just think it’s a good product.”

Vocabulary Bingo

Summary

Teachers use this Vocabulary Bingo template to create curriculum-based bingo cards for students as a fun way to study vocabulary. Diane recommends just calling the words out the first time, so students can match the words on their cards. The second time she recommends reading the definition, so kids have to match the word to the definition.

Objectives

Elementary grade students will apply the following skills:

• demonstrate word recognition skills by playing bingo and matching words on card with stated words.
• demonstrate knowledge of word meaning by matching bingo card words with definitions read by teacher.
• if working with a partner or small group, demonstrate cooperative learning skills.
