Idioms Bingo with Pictures Figurative Language Game

Description

If your students are stumped every time they hear an idiom, this idioms bingo game is a really fun way to build figurative language vocabulary in a format they will actually get excited about.

Each round of the game uses a PowerPoint presentation to show part of a common idiom along with a picture. Students find and mark the matching phrase on their bingo card.

The slides advance automatically, so once the game is running you can step back, work with individual students, or just watch the room and enjoy it.

WHAT YOU WILL GET:

• 26 idioms bingo cards
• PowerPoint presentation with auto-advancing slides
• Printable calling cards
• Cheat sheet to track which idioms have been called
• Instructions

The PowerPoint has a built-in shuffle feature, so you can mix up the slide order with one click and play the game again without students seeing the same sequence. That makes it easy to use this more than once with the same group without it feeling repetitive.

The printable calling cards give you an option if you want to play in guided reading groups or just do not have access to Powerpoint. Everything you need to run the game either way is included.

This works well as a whole-class vocabulary activity, a figurative language review game, or a fun Friday wrap-up. It is also a great choice for ESL students who are building their understanding of common English expressions, since the picture clues give extra context. Toss in some candy as game markers and your students will be asking to play it again.
