Introduction
(10 minutes)- Gather students together and announce that it's "Bingo Game Day" for short vowels.
- Ask if anyone has noticed any short vowels "hanging around" today.
- Point to the Short Vowel Picture Cards hanging on the board and say each sound, then the picture name (for example, O...Octopus).
- Announce that these cards will help us decide if words match one of sounds. If the word matches one of the short vowel sounds, that word will be a "Bingo Word of the Day."
- Play the Bingo Word of the Day game using the word list from the Short Vowel Bingo game.
- Choose five of the Word List words and ask students to listen as you read each word.
- Ask them to say "bingo" if they think the word is a short vowel word.
- Tally each correct response on the board under the title "Bingo Words."
- Announce the Bingo Word of the Day score.
- Correct any words missed and use the Short Vowel picture cards as a checklist for errors.
