The Greek Phonogram Bingo game is a fun way to master the Greek alphabet phonetically and check for understanding. 

 

This Greek Phonogram Bingo set created by my son, Peter McColl, includes 10 Bingo Cards printed on high quality card stock paper.  Card numbers 1 and 1A have the first part of the Greek Alphabet in lower case letters.  Cards 2 and 2A have the second part of the Greek Alphabet in lower case letters.  Cards 3 and 3A have the first part of the Greek Alphabet in upper case letters, Cards 4 and 4A have the second part of the Greek Alphabet in upper case letters.  Cards 5 and 5A conclude with the most common Greek diphthongs (two letters which make up one speech sound.)

How to Play:

 

You, the teacher, call out the sound/s a Greek letter or diphthong makes, your kids echo you, and place a marker on the correct letter. 

 

For an extra fun game you can use edible markers such as peanuts, M & M’s, or carrot rounds.  When the game is over, they eat the markers!  Non-edible markers such as dried beans or pennies can also be used.  We generally play “cover-all Bingo” where you cover the entire card.  But you could also play to cover 4 corners or one row.

 

After playing Bingo give a Greek Phonogram quiz on the letters or diphthongs that were on that day’s Bingo card.  A phonogram quiz is where you, the teacher, say the sounds a Greek letter or diphthong makes and your child writes the letter/diphthong down on paper while saying the sound/s out loud. If your children are unsure of what the letters are for the quiz you can set the bingo card in their view to prompt them.  After a few days, do the same quiz without the bingo card.  This will really cement the learning!

 

Permission:

When you purchase this set of Greek Phonogram Bingo cards you are given permission to photocopy as many as you need for your entire family or classroom.  The existing set you purchase has enough cards for a two-player game.

 

Happy gaming with Greek letters!
