Stages Learning Materials SLM997 Picture Recognition Bingo Game 5 St

I bought this Bingo Game for my Adult English students. They love it. It is a fun way to practice English objects. Each bingo spot has a photo with name. For example 34;Camera34; with photo. The other English Bingo games that I could find were for children.

I am not quite sure how old this game is or when it was created, but bingo is a bit at our house, this game is interesting that it uses careers to match with the images. The basis of the game is great, just like any bingo it's fun, but it's amazing the careers so random, there's Clown, Bank Teller, Engineer (train), cowboy/girl to list some. It's 2017 it would be nice to see better careers than a clown, or update the career list with nurses, computer programmers, etc. Fun game, but not as good as expected.

This would be neat if the photos were larger and the app was available for android, I do not have an ipad or iphone anymore so this is pretty useless and we cannot practice in the other languages. So this is basically a bingo game with tiny photos and super thin bingo chips, with the recommended age starting at 3 this is not very practical to expect that young of a child to be able to find and cover so many small pictures without scattering the chips.

My 3 and 4 year old absolutely love this game. They've watched their older siblings play traditional bingo on game nights and now they have their own version. As a parent who homeschools most of her children, games like this are like gold, helping my pre-k children build their vocabulary while having fun. The game is easy to play and the cards are of a decent quality. The only thing I don't like (and the reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5) is that the bingo chips are literally paper thin and hard for the girls to even pick up so we traded them out for real ones. The ones it comes with are practically useless. Other than that this is a great game for younger children who need to strengthen their vocabulary skills.

This is a game that serves just about every demographic. It is a good teaching tool and sparks cognitive development by having players recognize and categorize objects. It is an advanced version of Bingo. A strong selling point is that it is gender friendly and not gender biased in that people of either gender are shown in different fields. Players can't identify if the person pictured is male or female, so that helps eliminate the gender biased expectations. This would be good to have in classrooms.

I work in a high school special education classroom. Our students are considered moderate intellect, so we play games such as this on a regular basis. The cards are 36 card stock bingo cards. They are glossy on one side and matte on the other. It comes with punch out bingo chips that are a little lighter weight than the cards. There are also calling cards which have to be punched out as well. This is a career themed bingo game. All of the spaces are pictures of different jobs. One side of the card is all female workers and the other is all male workers. There are a few non-specific gender pictures that are the same on both sides, such as welder. The picture of the welder shows a person wearing protective gear so you can't see whether or not it's a male or female. I like that they include both genders, but it does seem a little odd that they aren't mixed. I would rather see one side with a mix of the two genders than separated. The pictures on the bingo cards are in color. The ones on the calling cards and calling mat are black and white. Another issue I have with this game, is that the pictures are a bit small. Some of our students have some level of vision impairment. The small size of the images may be challenging for some of them. It would also be nice if the calling cards were larger. For young children who may not be familiar with a career, you can show them the card after it has been called. The image on the calling cards is very small, so you can't just hold it up and show everyone. You would have to walk around the classroom and show it to each student individually. I think it's neat that there is a Bingo Caller app that goes along with this. Unfortunately it's for iPhones only, so I was unable to try it out with it. Overall, I think this is a great classroom game. I can definitely see this being helpful for an ESL class.
