Playing bingo is an excellent game to help reinforce children's understanding of numbers or any key noun vocabulary that you have taught them.

When preparing my class to play I ask the children to choose between a selection of numbers that they have learned e.g 30 - 50. They then write in their chosen numbers in pencil on a grid paper e.g 4 squares for Year 3 - 9 sqs for Year 6.

Then I call out the no's and the children cover up any called out no's with a counter. This helps to save endless time on producing lots of individual bingo cards. Using 4 box grids will enable the children to choose 4 nouns out of a possible 12 to write in english so that when they hear their noun in the target language they can cover it up like in no. bingo. I encourage the winners to come out and call next time. More shy pupils can choose a friend to help.

The children swap papers after each game so that they all have a new paper to complete. This activity is loved by all children I have taught in KS2.
