Reading bingo ideas: summer, winter and a class
- Summer reading bingo: pick the squares that fit long days (water, an adventure, a book about mountains) and send a card home in June.
- Winter bingo over the break: the Book Bingo 24, a card each, back on the first day of term.
- A class race to a line: everyone has a different card, so the class can cheer each line without copying.
- On a screen: readers can play Book Bingo in the tracker, or a bingo challenge you make with your own dates. The screen shows Book Bingo's card until a grown-up types the code printed on a reader's paper card: then the screen card is that one, square for square.
