Bingo Game
For teacher’s use in the classroom
Directions Below
2. Present an icon image - on the board, in a slideshow, or on flash cards.
3. Ask the students to correctly name the icon, then have them draw the icon on their bingo card in a random spot (ensuring a different card for each student).
4. When you have presented 24 icons, the student’s cards will be filled. Begin the bingo game.
Icon suggestions: new, save, grammar and spelling check, copy, open, print preview, print, undo, redo, cut, paste...
Students remember the icons by repetition: they first identified them, then drew them, and finally reviewed them in a game.
