The learning connection
Using a bingo format for learning capitalizes on dual coding theory, combining visual symbols with verbal terms, making recall easier. The competitive element keeps children motivated and helps cement their understanding through repeated association.
Try it with your learner
1. Create a bingo card with 16 banking terms (like 'savings', 'loan', 'interest'). 2. Prepare definitions for each term on separate slips of paper. 3. Shuffle the definitions and draw one at a time, reading it aloud. 4. If you have the matching term on your card, mark it. 5. The first to mark a full row shouts 'Bingo!' and explains the terms they marked. 6. Switch roles and let someone else call out definitions.
