Instructional Ideas

• Provide the vocabulary definitions for readers to practice beforehand, or have class members copy each word and definition as it comes up in the text
• Laminate the bingo cards to use with multiple classes
• For the bingo markers, provide pictures of prominent symbols or characters from the play, or have readers create their own markers with images from the play

Classroom Considerations

• Provides only one example and no template

Pros

• Encourages readers to think about the unfamiliar words in the play
• Provides vocabulary that occurs more than once in the text, allowing readers to build on prior knowledge

Cons

• No template for the cards is included
