Sasha from theautismhelper.com shows Kitchen Bingo, a game that teaches kitchen vocabulary to autistic learners and others. Level 1 cards pair words with pictures; Level 2 cards show pictures with clues to build problem-solving. The 20 bingo boards work for non-verbal students and older learners alike.
Hi, this is Sasha from theautismhelper.com, and this is a product preview of Kitchen Bingo. So I love working on functional vocabulary, and this game has a great set of common words and items that we see every day. So different things that we see in the kitchen that our students might not have the opportunity to learn the word of or practice the word, um, things such as oven or dishwasher, um, are all included in here. So I think this is a great set to work on with all types of kids but even our older kids, our high school age, junior high, thinking about what skills are functional and what sight words are functional. So these are great ones to target because they are something that is going to lead to more functional independence. So 2 types of playing cards are included. First is the Level 1, just with the word and the picture, great for matching or picture identification. Next are Level 2, where the picture and there's a little clue so the students can work on problem solving and making inferences and looking at the function of each item. So there's the different level 2 cards, and then there are 20 different bingo boards. They're all mixed up, and we work on 5 across or 5 down, but however you wanna do it. If you want everyone wins, you can just do blackout. That's a fun way to do it sometimes. Bingo is great because it does incorporate all learners in my classroom. My kids who are nonverbal can play this version, and my higher kids can play this on their own even. So it's really a great thing to target multiple types of skills and vocabulary within a structured and common game. Again, this was a product review of Kitchen Bingo from theautismhelper.com.
