Whether focusing on English Language Learning (ELL) as special education or for new readers working on their site words, it helps to use everyday objects - and a little extra fun!

Gamification of English language learning empowers students to engage with reading and vocabulary in dynamic, memorable ways. By incorporating interactive game elements—such as BINGO boards, scavenger hunts, and friendly competition—educators can transform traditional lessons into exciting, collaborative experiences. This approach not only reinforces language acquisition and word recognition, but also builds motivation and confidence among learners of all backgrounds. As students strive to achieve goals, collect points, or find words in real-life contexts, they naturally develop communication skills and a lasting enthusiasm for English language mastery.

In this new free lesson plan activity, students will practice words found around the house and words found around school using provided BINGO boards and word prompts!

The included simple and colorful set of printables provides BINGO cards, anchor chart reference posters, word cards, and blank sets for adding your own additions to customize! Send a set home with your students to practice with their families, and place word cards around the classroom on their respective items as a scavenger bingo hunt!

Created in partnership with Cathy Henry, educator and founder of The Curriculum Corner and Free Word Work, students will work on reading comprehension, pronunciation, and word recognition in practicing the English language.

This lesson contains 13+ printables and templates for fun BINGO activities including:

  • Printable BINGO cards
  • Word Cards
  • Anchor Posters
  • Lesson Extensions
  • And more!
