Reading Lesson Plans & Comprehension - Spelling Test Bingo

Spelling Test Bingo

"My class plays Spelling Test Bingo. I created a blank Bingo board and made copies. The students number the boxes as they pick where to write the words. After all the words are given, they may fill in the other blanks with doubles of the words used. We exchange papers and correct them. If a word is misspelled, it's rewritten correctly. Then the papers are returned and the fun begins. I write the words on small pieces of paper and place them in a hat. As I pull out a word, the Bingo game starts. When a student gets Bingo, that student must stand up and spell out all the words correctly in order to win the game. I give out small prizes to the winners. My class loves this game and it's a great help to those that need to review for the test."
