Shops Bingo Game

The Shops Bingo Game is a classroom-ready language resource designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using vocabulary related to shops and places in the target language.

By presenting shop-related vocabulary through a familiar bingo format, this game provides repeated exposure that supports accurate recognition, recall, and retrieval of the target language during listening and matching activities.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, this game functions as an instructional tool that reinforces vocabulary previously introduced through explicit teaching.
