Around the

World Bingo
Anisha Badesha
Learning Objectives and Curricular Connections

01 Objective
The objective of the game is to act as review of material we have been learning. Students are to use their
knowledge of different countries and culture of the world we have “visited” to fill up their Around the
World: Bingo Card. The first person to get BINGO wins!

02 Social Studies
BIG IDEA:Stories and traditions about ourselves and our families reflect who we are and where
we are from.

● Use Social Studies inquiry processes and skills to ask questions; gather, interpret, and
analyze ideas; and communicate findings and decisions.
● Ask questions, make inferences, and draw conclusions about the content and features
of different types of sources
● Acknowledge different perspectives on people, places, issues, or events in their lives
Required Materials
● Counters to use as bingo chips.
● Class set of BINGO CARDS
→ They will have both pictures and words on them to help with
comprehension. Some of the pictures will be of flags around the
country, some will be names of cultures, phrases we have learned in
different languages and some will be names of countries or
landmarks.

There will be an assortment and variety/different versions of the cards


but they will all have the places that we have learned about.
Rules
● Each student will get an Around the World: Bingo Card and counters they can use as
chips.
● Students will be playing this individually (but can pair up if needed -- this can be a
great chance to pair together ELL students with a student who can help guide them,
that way they have the extra support, but it will be their choice.
● I will say the question/prompt and if students have the corresponding answer, they
will put a chip on their Bingo square.
● Once students have put the chips on their square, I will ask if anyone wants to share
the answer with me even if they did not have that square on their card.
● Once a student has Bingo (all the way across or diagonal), they will raise their hand
and yell out “BINGO!”
● The first student to have BINGO wins.

REMINDERS:

● Honesty - It is okay if they do not know the answer, I expect my students to remain
honest when putting down their chips because they would expect the same from me.
● Calm Bodies: Students do not have to say, “I know!’ or “I have it” every time they place
a chip on their BINGO card. They can let me know with a thumbs up.

Once I have done this with the students a few times and they are familiar with it, students
can volunteer to be the “moderator” and lead the game by asking the prompts/questions for
the BINGO cards.
Examples of questions/prompts for the Bingo Card

● In which culture do they celebrate Ramadan?


● Which country’s flag has a maple leaf in the middle?
● In which culture do they celebrate the holiday of “Hanukkah”?
● Which country’s flag is red, green and white?
● We live on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the
_______ __________ peoples.
● Which country’s flag has a red dot in the middle?
● In which country is the Taj Mahal located?
● Instead of saying “Merry Christmas”, “Feliz Navidad” is spoken in which
language?
● Which country celebrates the “festival of lights” using “diyas”?
