Compound Words Bingo Game for Young Readers: 24 Meaningful Words with Pictures

Reading compound words is a great way for young readers to learn to decode longer words. Compound words are also one of the most common types of words in the English language. This compound words bingo game will help your students tackle and master compound words in a short period of time! I've selected 24 compound words that are relevant and meaningful to first and second graders. These words include animals, food, things found in nature, and common household objects. See the complete list of words at the bottom of the description.

There are 25 unique bingo cards. All 25 bingo cards use the same 24 words. This allows your students to know that every compound word that is called out must be found on their bingo card. No "hit or miss"! The compound words are printed on the bingo cards along with a matching picture. This way, both your readers and students that have not yet learned to read can have success with the game. The spaces on the bingo cards are large enough to accommodate common classroom objects that can be used as bingo markers. (See the examples used in photos in the thumbnails.)

There are four options of the game included. All four options use the same compound words and pictures. Samples of the four options can be viewed by looking at the product preview. Here are the differences between the three versions:

OPTION ONE: Color pictures with black text

OPTION TWO: Black and white pictures with black text

OPTION THREE: Black and white pictures with red and blue text

OPTION FOUR: Color pictures with red and blue text

There are two versions of calling cards and four versions of picture word cards. The calling cards and picture word cards can be viewed by opening the preview file. There are no definition cards included with this resource. Please do not purchase this product if definition cards are something you require.
