COWBOY READING PASSAGES AND BINGO

Grades 4-6

Hands on History

 Looking for a fun way to review the Wild, Wild West? Check out my BINGO products!  BINGO is a fun way to review new concepts and vocabulary words. 


The words in this BINGO set relate to the topic of Cowboys in the Old West and make the perfect review for the nine pages of informational text that are INCLUDED in this product.  The passages can also be used for CLOSE READING, using any non-fiction graphic organize (not included).


This product includes:
36 Unique Bingo Cards (18 pages with two cards per sheet)
The Caller’s Tracking Sheet
24 Calling Cards Containing Words and Clues
9 One-Page Passages of Informational Text

Although all cards contain the same 24 words, the order on each card is unique.  Each student will find every word on their card.  Of course, this means “blackout” is not a good option – although my students sometimes insisted on playing all the way through and singing out “BINGO” in unison at the end!

This product is great for a large group, class or co-op.!  It can be played in the traditional way where the instructor randomly chooses one of the cards and calls out the word.  Or, to play as a review game, the instructor can read the clue that appears on the card below the BINGO word.
