Have the winner read out the words to check they were the correct words called by the teacher. First player to have marker across a complete row, column, or diagonal wins the game. When students determine the given word, they place a marker over the word on their card. Play begins with the teacher giving students the definition/synonym/antonym or some other clue to one of the randomly drawn words. Provide chips (M&Ms) or other place markers. Step 2 - Teacher lists 25-30 vocabulary words on board while students randomly write one word in each square on their College Survival Bingo card. Students discuss the word and meaning as they work in pairs or triads to complete the sort. Students are challenged to think of the category names for the sorted words. In some cases, you may have a sort in which words are already sorted, or categorized. To further develop their vocabulary, students can complete a Word Sort teaching strategy using the college survival word list and categories (financial aid, admissions, academic, etc.) predefined by the teacher. Teacher Note Although this lesson focuses on college terminology, other subject areas such as science, holiday terms, or a topic to be read about in an upcoming text can also be used. Provide students with the College Survival Vocabulary List or College Vocabulary 101 (or create list from your local college terminology).

Bingo cards can be used for just about any content area to reinforce definitions, new vocabulary, math problems, even long thought out questions.

If a student claims they have BINGO and they are incorrect, they are disqualified from that round.

If a student has all words or pictures covered diagonally, across a row or vertically in a column, they should call BINGO.

Students must then identify the word or picture on their bingo card and cover the space (If using slide 3 template, click on the picture to change the background color of the square).
