New Twist to Bingo

This new twist to bingo has students listening to the sounds and writing the phonogram on blank PHONO Bingo cards. Let your child make game boards for the whole family. In a school setting, each student builds a PHONO Bingo board to make a class set. Perfect practice with any of the color-coded sets because it provides students the opportunity to listen to the sound of a phonogram, visualize the correct symbol in their head, then quickly and correctly write the letter.

Print blank PHONO Bingo Boards to get started.
Choose the color-coded set your child is learning.
Now here's the important part, as you build the game board be sure to say the sound not the letter names. For example, if I want my students to write "oi," I would say, "/oy/ that we MAY NOT use at the end of English words." Students pick a space, any space, to write the phonogram as they repeat "/oy/ that we MAY NOT use at the end of English words." The phonograms have to legible and neat for others to use the bingo card so it's a great way to practice manuscript or cursive writing.
