Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com presents Vehicle Bingo, a game for autism classrooms with two difficulty levels. Level 1 uses picture cards for matching and vocabulary; Level 2 uses clues that require inference. The 20 laminated boards work for both guided instruction with lower-level learners and independent play with higher-level students.
Hi, this is Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product preview of Vehicle Bingo. So I often talk about how much I love using bingo in my class, but I really can't say enough. It is a great game that allows even my lowest-level learners to participate in a turn-taking activity. It works on matching, we can target a bunch of different types of vocabulary and different skills, but it's also appropriate for my higher kids too. I can work on problem-solving, making inferences, I can have a student be in charge, so I can do a lot with this type of game which is something I need in my class. If I'm gonna go through the trouble of printing and laminating something, especially printing something in color, it needs to be used for multiple things. So with my bingos, I can use these in my guided instruction with my lower-level kids, and then my higher guys can play on their own, which is really great. So I love making things that are engaging to my students' interests, and who doesn't love cars and trucks? So this game is all themed on vehicles: cars, trucks, buses, tractors, you name it. Um, so included is the level 1 cards. These are just basic words with the, um, picture. So this is gonna be great for vocabulary and picture identification. So this is just gonna be your basic picture matching. Next are the Level 2, and these give kind of a hint or some type of clue on which card it is. So this is great to work on problem solving and receptive language, to make those inferences and figure out from the clue or definition which card they need to put their chip on top of. So when I use these ones, I don't show the picture to everyone. I hide it, or whoever's in charge hides it. So the kids have to really think about it. There's 20 bingo boards included. Um, they're all with the different pictures, and we play 5 in a row across or up and down. Um, again, these are really fun. My kids just have a really good time playing bingo, and like I said, you can target so many skills. So it's something I'm always making different versions of. Again, this was a product preview of Vehicle Bingo by theautismhelper.com.
