How to play

Pick a card. Card 1 has the first 25 words.
Listen. The caller says a word. Tap the speaker ball to hear it again.
Find and tap. A wrong tap reads that word, then the caller asks again.
Get a line. Bingo with no wrong taps earns three stars.

For parents: what Sight Word Bingo practices

Sight Word Bingo builds quick recognition of high-frequency words: kids hear a word and match it to its spelling. It pairs with:

Common Core: RF.K.3c (read common high-frequency words by sight), RF.1.3g, RF.2.3f.

Getting the most out of it

Say each word out loud as you tap it.
Play the same card twice: the second game is faster.
Spot the words from the card in a book afterward.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
