Creation
Instructions
Card Markers are also given to each student, they can also be placed in the middle of the group to grab as needed.
Teacher will read off words from the synonym cards and the students will place a card marker of the word on their board that is a synonym to the word being read. The first person to fill a line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally yells bingo. The teacher will review the words the student has covered and if all are correct everyone will clear their boards and the game will begin again. If a word is covered that does not correspond with a word the teacher read the marker should be removed and the game continues.
Variations
Another variation I might add is that anytime someone calls bingo each student would have to write a sentence using one of the words they have marked on their card.
