“WORDO” Game Julie Pinney and Alma Kryah-Deblasio Akron North High School
“WORDO” • Procedures: • Teacher distributes empty “WORDO” cards. (The 9 block card can be run 2 per page and cut in half.) • Have students fill in “WORDO” card with 9 words that are being studied. There may be more vocabulary words but students get to choose the 9 that they want to put on their “WORDO” card.
“WORDO” • “WORDO” is played just like BINGO. Pass out covers-metal markers. Poker chips or colored pieces of paper (cut into 2”x2” squares) also work well as covers. • Teacher announces the game type (X, diagonal, four corners, etc.)
“WORDO” • Teacher calls out the definition for one word. Students silently identify which vocabulary word fits the definition that was just given. • Then the student covers the box with the corresponding vocabulary word with the marker, chip or paper that matches the definition. • You can decide if students can keep their Vocabulary Notebooks or flashcards open on their desk for use during the game.
“WORDO” • When a student gets an X, diagonal, or four corners, as was determined for that round, they call out “WORDO”. • The student must stand up and do one of two things: (Depending on the ability grouping) • For beginning students: pronounce each word that they covered. • For more advanced students: pronounce each word and give the definition for each of the words they covered.
“WORDO” • After a student has gotten “WORDO” and the words and definitions have been confirmed, have students clear their cards and start another round of “WORDO”. • Students are given bonus points or candy for winning a round of “WORDO”. • Try to use different words during the subsequent rounds because a student won’t have all of the words on their card and if you don’t call all of the words at least once during the rounds, a student will never get to cover a particular word that they chose to include.
