Board game Bingo. Thematic cards for the game "bingo" in English lessons Rules and course of the game
Board game"Bingo" is entertainment for children that is addictive and attracts them. Firstly, you cannot remain indifferent to the type of lottery itself. Bingo is not a collection of colorful cards or dice. Its main component is a bright drum, which no child can resist.
This lottery is somewhat reminiscent of the Russian “Loto”, but the first one is made more for children who love excitement and fun leisure time. But despite the fact that it comes with a whole drum, the “desk toy” seems compact and will serve participants well if they decide to take it with them on a trip. Children constantly need something to do, and the lottery will captivate them and become the main object of their attention. Parents who love spending time with their younger generation will also become addicted to the lottery. Package

Rules and course of the game
To learn how to play Bingo, you do not need to study the rules for a long time, since victory in this activity depends more on the luck and luck of the players than on their way of thinking and diligence.
How to play Bingo:
Before the “competition” begins, players need to choose a leader. But unlike many other games, in this case the presenter can participate himself. Then all players need to choose cards for themselves. This is done at random. All participants are given the same number of playing cards.
There are two ways you can choose to organize the game:
- “Simple Lotto” – the one who fills in all the numbers on his cards wins.
- “Short Lotto” – the one who fills in all the numbers on one line wins.
The “competition” begins with the person who has been chosen as the host spinning the drum (lotto drum). This action continues until one of the balls is on the playing field. After this, the presenter announces the number of the ball to everyone. If one of the players discovers that this number matches the number on his card, then he fills in the space provided for this with a chip. Depending on which game option the participants chose, the winner will be determined. The lottery is a family affair because it brings people together and is a good way to spend time together.

"Road Bingo" - that's what it's called. interesting game for children from 3-5 years old. The game can be played in the city, walking through the park and streets, in the car, on the bus, and on the train. I'll tell you about how we played Road Bingo on the street.
First, about the game itself. The game is sold in a collapsible box:
The set includes game cards, instructions and a set of stickers:
It's nice that the publishing house "", which released this game, took care of convenience and included in the kit a thick envelope for several cards and stickers.
In order not to take the whole box with you, just take an envelope with the necessary cards and stickers.
In the set 34 cards with 6 images each:
Cards are divided by topic:
Out of town
Airport
Passengers
The drawings on the cards are clear to the child, each picture is signed.
The essence of the game It's simple - find the items and stick the sticker on.
The game can be played by 1 or 2 players, or even by a large group.
If you go for a walk, it is more advisable to choose cards from a city theme ("In the city" + cards with transport "Road bingo"), if you go out of town, then you can take cards with cars + cards "Station", cards "Out of town" + "Passengers". There are many options!
We played road bingo in the park.
It was a long time just to sit and wait on a bench for the passers-by we needed, so we ourselves went in search of them. Tigran rode ahead of me on a scooter and looked out for people, and I walked behind with a card and stickers.
My son arrived and studied the card and, from memory, looked for the people or transport we needed. Therefore we can say that The game trains not only the attention, but also the memory of the road finder!
And she develops thinking: Well, people with ice cream didn’t want to catch our eye. What to do?! And then my son suggested a logical option - to go outside the park straight to the ice cream stand. And, of course, there we met a lot of people eating ice cream.
And there was a motorcycle parked next to the kiosk, we were lucky:
The set also includes paired cards that are designed for two players.
Players are given the same card, and the one who finds all the items faster than the opponent wins.
And there are also these cards of the same color:
There was no stopping us here and we couldn’t get away with stickers! We took markers and marked the number of cars. The one with the highest amount won.
We had so much fun that the next day my dad joined us and the whole family played Road Bingo on the way to the store!
Here are my favorite men who found a “car with a wheel on the back”.

What are English Bingo cards for?
Firstly, they develop memory well, since illustrations form a strong connection between the word and the visual image.
Secondly, they help you practice correct pronunciation. Thirdly, when working with cards, attention is trained. And the result of all this can be called a significant replenishment of active and passive vocabulary.
The relevance of using thematic cards is that they help increase interest in studying the subject, deepen and expand the acquired knowledge, and enable students to demonstrate their linguistic and cognitive abilities. In addition, this contributes to the development of active and passive speech in children, as well as correct sound pronunciation.
The novelty of this development is that thematic cards are used in accordance with the goals and objectives of the additional general education program “Playing and learning English.” They are adapted to the topics being studied and are their logical continuation. Cards can be used for collective, individual or differentiated work with students.
This methodological folder contains thematic cards independently developed by the teacher on various topics:
ABC Bingo (Alphabet)
Animal Bingo
Bingo Food
Bingo Sports
Easter Bingo
Bingo Numbers
My Day
BingoSchool(School)
BingoClothes(Cloth)
Rules of the game:
It is advisable to play the game “Bingo” at the stage of consolidating lexical material on the topic. To play the game, you must have cards and chips for each player or for a group of players, as well as a set of cards with words for the leader. You can use different variations of the Bingo game.
Option 1
Each child is given a thematic card with subject pictures or words. The number of pictures on each card is less than that of the presenter and can vary from 9 to 24 depending on the topic and level of complexity of the card. The teacher explains to the children the rules of the game: the leader has a set of cards with words for each subject picture. The presenter slowly names the words in English one by one, the participants of the game listen carefully to the presenter and look for the named word on their card. If a picture representing a word is on the player’s card, he covers it with a chip. The first one to cover all the pictures on his card says the word “Bingo” loudly. He becomes the winner.
Option 2
Each participant chooses a thematic card, on which next to each picture there is a number from 1 to 50. The presenter explains to the children the rules of the game: he calls the numbers in English, the participants find this number on their playing field, raise their hand and name a word or phrase. If the participant quickly and correctly named the word in the picture next to the number, he receives a token. At the end of the game, all participants count up the tokens. The winner is the one who received greatest number tokens.
Option 3
For this version of the game, you need disposable cards (printed on a black and white printer) and colored pencils for each participant. The presenter distributes cards and explains the rules of the game to the children. He names a word, and participants find and color a picture that matches the given word. When all the pictures in a row from left to right or top to bottom are colored, the participant says the word “Bingo” and becomes the winner.
Thus, with the help of these cards you can achieve all the goals, create a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom and delight children with an exciting game.

Today, there are many methods in which teaching a child English necessarily takes into account all psychological characteristics and contributes to his development. Bright colored cubes that stimulate fine motor skills and large posters that use the visual channel of information perception are also successfully used.
But, probably, one of the most popular tools among both teachers and parents remains cards for learning English. After all, they are so easy and simple to use to carry out many entertaining games in English.
The only disadvantage of cardboard cards, perhaps, is that they require very careful handling.
But the cards have a lot of advantages:
1. Visibility.
If the cards are of high quality, then the colors on them are bright and rich, and the image is large and clear. They invariably attract the child’s attention, and he just wants to pick them up as quickly as possible and take a good look at them.
And if the cards are black and white and printed on a regular printer, then they give even more scope for the child’s imagination when he picks up a pencil or brush and begins to color the pictures. And who said that the pig must be pink and the bunny must be grey? Let these be fabulous colorful animals, like in the picture below.
2. Ease of use.
Unlike a book with pictures or the same cubes, cards can always be put in your pocket and go on the road; they can be laid out, turned over, and swapped in different ways. Accordingly, they are very convenient to use in games to learn English words, even in the car or on the bus.
3. Benefits for the development of the child.
Cutting out cards, coloring them, gluing them on cardboard - all these actions are not only interesting for the child, but also useful, because in this way fine motor skills are trained, which is so important for writing and even for speaking.
While playing with cards, the child’s memory, imaginative thinking, and logic develop. In addition, by talking about the habits of one or another animal depicted on the card, the child can jump, run, stomp his feet and clap his hands, thereby doing a little exercise, which is simply necessary for the full development of children of any age.
Below are seven popular English games with cards, the rules of which can be changed according to the child’s age and level of language proficiency, thereby obtaining new interesting games.
Bingo game
Bingo is probably the most famous game with cards in teaching English to children. The spirit of competition, the desire to win, strong emotions and joyful cries of Bingo make this game invariably popular among both children 3-4 years old and children 7-8 years old.
Bingo Rules
Each player is dealt large cards with marked rectangles (about 8-9). Each of these rectangles contains an image corresponding to a topic that needs to be repeated with the children. These can be animals, body parts, items of clothing, buildings, etc. The images may be the same for all children, but the order of their arrangement on the sheet must be different for each.
Further, as the game progresses, the presenter slowly names each of the objects (animals) in English, also raising the card up. Children must cross out on their sheet the image that corresponds to the word and picture they heard. When the child sees that all his pictures have been crossed out, he must shout out the word Bingo. Since all children have the same images, the one who does it first wins, provided that all his images are crossed out correctly.
Alternatively, each child can be given a set of cards, which need to be laid out during the game into pictures that correspond to the spoken leading words. Bingo can also be successfully used in the classroom. English language at school, and as one of the fun activities children's party, and even just to liven up a boring winter evening at home.
The rules of the game are quite simple and clear. At the same time, it will be a great way to repeat english words and develop the child’s auditory and visual memory, as well as his attention.
If the children are already familiar with how to read the words that go with the pictures, you can hand out worksheets with English words written in place of the pictures. As the game progresses, offer to cross them out when the presenter says the word out loud and shows the picture.
Game What's Missing? (What's missing?)
One more great game, which not only teaches English, but also helps develop a child’s memory, is What’s Missing? You can play it from the age of three.
You shouldn’t spend more than 15 minutes on one game with cards: this time is quite enough to support your motivation to learn English and repeat all the necessary words.
For this you will need cards with thematic images, which can be found in the relevant sections of the Englishlittle website. How younger children, those fewer cards must be in a row. For example, for 3-4 years old six cards will be enough, and for older children their number can be increased to 9-10.
As the game progresses, the cards are laid out in a row (in two rows) with the image facing up. Children carefully look at the pictures, trying to remember them and the order of their arrangement. Then the children close their eyes, and at this time the leader removes one of the cards. After everyone has opened their eyes, you need to figure out which picture is missing and name this word in English. The one who did it correctly becomes the leader.
You can see an example of such a game with fruit cards in the video below.
Game What's missing? helps you remember English words
Odd One Out (What's Odd?)
This English educational game is similar to the previous one, but is suitable for reviewing vocabulary when children have already acquired sufficient vocabulary on several topics.
Cards with images that correspond to a particular topic are laid out in a row. For example, this is a Farm Animals theme, and in a row there will be pictures of the following animals: horse (horse), pig (pig), chicken (hen), sheep (sheep), goose (goose) and rabbit (rabbit). Then the children close their eyes, and an image of, say, an apple is added to the named pictures.
Children need to understand which card is extra and name this word in English. At the same time, it develops well and visual memory, and abstract logical thinking.
Kim's Game
This game, in addition to its educational task, also develops memory, as well as the ability to notice details.
This is interesting
It got its name thanks to R. Kipling’s novel “Kim”, in which main character learns to be a spy and trains his memory in the game, remembering the objects that were on a tray covered with a scarf.
The game itself is for the child to carefully examine and remember the cards or objects lying on the table in front of him. Then the cards are either turned over or covered with a scarf, and the child’s task is to name all the words out loud in English, preferably in the correct sequence.
The one who can name the most words will be the winner.
The Bad Card
In this game, one of the cards is conditionally “bad”. For example, in the Zoo Animals theme, this could be a picture of a crocodile. The leader raises each card in turn and says the name of the animal out loud, and the children repeat it. When children see a “bad” card, they need to jump up and say the word out loud.
Anyone who is distracted and does not get up from his seat is given a playful punishment: perform some action, for example, stomp your feet, clap your hands.
The game is well suited for familiarization with English words and for consolidating them, and in addition, develops attention.
True/False
The game itself consists of the fact that when picking up one of the cards, the presenter deliberately makes a mistake in the statement about it. For example, holding up a tiger card, you can say It’s a crocodile. Is it true? The answer, of course, should be No, it’s false.
These alternating true and false statements invariably make children laugh and help create the necessary positive atmosphere in the English lesson.
At the same time, the game helps develop the child’s attention and abstract logical thinking, because in order to say True or False, you need to remember the English name of the animal and correlate it with the statement.
Matching
The main thing in the game is to connect two cards with each other or a word and a picture. However, the rules of this game can vary from case to case. For example, one time you can invite children to arrange cards with images of food onto corresponding pictures of a plate and a jug, which they can cut out of paper themselves.
Another time, you can give the children cards of animals and their babies and ask them to find the matching pair.
This game is both educational and educational. On the one hand, with its help you can perfectly remember English words, on the other hand, it develops your child’s logic well.
In the video below you can see how to use certain cards in an English lesson.
