Happy Read Across America Week! We have several activities and spirit days planned at my school this week, including something new: Book Cover Bingo!
By using the Bingo Baker website I was able to create custom Bingo cards featuring images of books I know most of my students will recognize. You can search for premade cards, or you can create your own cards from scratch. You can use words, numbers, or images — or a combination of all three — and choose the size of the grid you want to use (3X3, 4X4, 5X5, 6X6, or 7X7). You can even play question & answer bingo! Print your cards out to play in person, or share a link with users to play online.
I made two sets of cards; one featuring picture books for younger readers and another set with chapter books for older readers. You’re welcome to use them as-is, or edit them to suit your needs.
Note that with a free account you are limited in the number of cards you can print out. I ended up purchasing a lifetime membership so that I could print enough for each grade level, but I know I’ll be using the site many more times so I feel like it was a good investment.
