Activity Script:We recommend using the following verbal cues as you model each step.

1. “Today we’re going to play bingo! First, let’s make our own boards.” [Indicate the completed model on display. Point to the students’ blank bingo boards, as well as their sets of images.]

2. “Let’s cut out our pictures first.” [Model using scissors to cut out images.]

3. “When you’re finished, you can start gluing them on your board. Pick one picture for each square on your board. Watch me and then you try.” [Encourage students to create a unique board of their own.]

4. “To play this game, we need a volunteer to call out each card.” [Choose one student to be the caller. Instruct them to:a. Select a card from the bag.b. Identify the card (i.e. apple, milk, etc.).c. Optional: the caller shows the card while stating the item.]

5. “When you hear something called out, check your board to see if you have it. If you do, put a mark in that box. Let’s practice.” [Model a practice round in which you demonstrate marking your own board.]

6. “When you have a whole row or column filled with marks, call out, ‘Check out!’” [Explain that this is the goal of bingo.]
