How to make a bingo game with Sparky

  1. Give Sparky your words

    Paste your vocabulary list into a Flint chat, or ask for bingo on a topic and Sparky asks which words to use.

  2. Play it on the projector

    Sparky builds a bingo card with a clue box above it. Next Clue reads one definition at a time, students mark the word, and the game spots five in a row.

  3. Print a card for each student

    Ask Sparky to print a different card for each student, and it adds a print button to the game. The printout leaves out the buttons, and each card is laid out differently.

Ways teachers use bingo

  • Human bingo

  • Sight word bingo

    This week's sight words called one at a time, with a list of the words already called, for kindergarten and 1st grade.

Frequently asked questions

Are these bingo templates free?

Yes. The Word files are free to download, and Flint is free for teachers.

How do you make bingo cards?

For vocabulary bingo, pick 24 words. Each student writes them in the squares of a blank card in any order, with FREE in the middle, so every card is different. Or paste the words into a Flint chat, and Sparky builds a bingo game that prints a different card for every student.

What are the rules of human bingo?

Each student gets a card of squares like "plays an instrument" or "can whistle". Students walk around and find a classmate who matches each square, and that classmate writes their name in it. A classmate can sign only one square on each card. The first student with five in a row calls out bingo.

What are good human bingo questions?

Things students can say yes to without sharing anything private: hobbies, favorites, small talents and things they've done, like "has read a book this summer" or "can say hello in another language". The 24 squares on this page are a ready-made set.

Can you do 4 × 4 bingo?

Yes. A 4 × 4 card has 16 squares and no FREE space, and four in a row wins. It suits kindergarten to 2nd grade, where 24 words or pictures is a lot.

Can each student get a different card?

Yes. With the blank templates, students fill in the words in their own order. A bingo game Sparky builds deals the words into a new layout each time, and can print one card per student on its own page.

Can I use the template in Google Docs?

Yes. Upload the Word file to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs. When Sparky writes bingo cards as a document, that document has its own Google Drive and Word buttons.

Learning feels different when it fits you.
