 * What is "Bingo Vocabulary"?

 * The teacher will then instruct the students to draw a picture, write a word in their first language that translates to the vocabulary word, or a word in English that reminds them of the vocabulary word.
 * After students have been given an optimal amount of time to complete their Bingo sheets, the students will be given a small manipulative to use while playing Bingo as a class.
 * Once all students are ready to begin, the teacher will explain the rules of Bingo to the class to ensure that everyone understands the procedure of the game.
 * After the rules have been thoroughly explained, the teacher will begin Bingo by calling out the definition of a vocabulary word. The students will be required to call upon their knowledge of the vocabulary words they have listed in order to place a manipulative on their Bingo sheet.
 * The students will listen to the teacher as he or she says the vocabulary definitions will placing their manipulative on their Bingo sheet.
 * The first student to have five manipulatives in a row from top to bottom, left to right, or diagonally will call out "Bingo" and the teacher will check their sheet for accuracy. If the student has the correct vocabulary words covered, they are the winner of the game.
 * The process of the game can be repeated as many times desired for optimal learning throughout the classroom.
