ELA Bingo Cards

Match literary and writing terms to spoken definitions

Recognize persuasive appeals, plot elements and figurative language

Review planning, drafting, revising, editing and publishing vocabulary

Print the boards on cardstock before cutting them apart so they hold up under repeated marker placement.

Cut the call pieces apart and place them in a container ahead of time so calling moves quickly during play.

Use dry beans, pennies, or paperclips as markers, since the boards are plain print pages rather than dry-erase or digital cards.

Persuasive-appeal identification — students match logos, pathos, and ethos to their spoken descriptions.

Plot-structure vocabulary — students recognize terms like rising action, falling action, and turning point from a called clue.

Figurative-language recognition — students identify metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and personification by definition.
