Olympic Lingo

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Olympic Lingo learning also includes:
  • Vocabulary
  • Printable
  • Join to access all included materials

Instead of bingo, why not play some Lingo? This vocabulary game is just like bingo, but it's all about words and focuses on building vocabulary. The resource provides a blank Lingo card, a filled-in sample, and a vocabulary list. All of the words are related to the Olympics.

Instructional Ideas

  • Have kids write vocabulary words in random order on the blank Lingo game card in order to create their own individualized cards
  • You could use this idea, and the blank game card, for any vocabulary list
  • Increase the difficulty by calling out definitions and requiring learners to find the matching term on their Lingo cards
  • Prepare your learners for a lesson or unit on the Olympics with a game of Olympic Lingo

Pros

  • Presents a fun method for reviewing any vocabulary list

Cons

  • While the resource does include a vocabulary list, there are no definitions provided; the game will be based solely on matching the words on their cards to the words called out
