Adjective bingo

Here the children are playing a new game called adjective bingo. 




After looking at the photograph showing several children being evacuated during WWII, the children had to write 9 different words to describe the photograph. If I called out one of the words they had it was crossed off the grid. 3 in a row wins, followed by a full house.

  3. Hello Year 4,

    What a brilliant game. :)

    I had used number and word bingo with classes over the years but hadn't targeted adjectives. These are words so important in our writing. They help our readers better picture what we describe.

    Following your Evacuation theme, I can imagine the variety of possible words. Looking at the photos in this post, I can see you saw the loneliness and fears of the evacuees at the railway station. I wonder if any of the children were apprehensive but perhaps excited by their adventure? I could imagine the journey out of London might have been a first for many.

  5. I really liked playing the adjective bingo too. It got me thinking a lot. I have got a great idea we could play maths bingo when we are doing maths and we could do spelling bingo in our spear time. megan

  6. I loved that because we had to write the words that was in our mind but I never got a full house or even three in a row. :-( :-D

  7. I liked the adjective bingo because someone might have a word that you don't know and you can learn from it.Dil
