Autumn Bingo (Gaeilge)

Educational bingo games are a great way for pupils to learn so many different skills. This seasonal bingo game as Gaeilge is based on items pupils might see at this time of year. Bingo games help with listening skills, visual discrimination, group work, turn taking and the reinforcement of the learning content of that particular bingo game.

This bingo game contains ten different bingo cards, so it would be useful for Station Teaching or small group work. Two ways of playing the bingo game are included – using either picture matching or word-picture matching.

Print out, cut up and laminate bingo cards 1-10 for the pupils. Print and laminate multiple copies of either the images or the words and cut into individual cards. Place the deck of cards upside-down in the centre of the group. Each pupil in turn selects a card from the top of the deck. If they have that image/word on their card, they place the selected card on top of it. The first pupil to cover all six images on their card wins the game.

Alternatively, just print one copy of either the images or the words, laminate and cut up into cards. Place the deck of cards in the centre of the group. When a pupil selects a card with the same image/word as one on their own card, they cover their image with a counter or small cube and return the card to the bottom of the deck.
