How to host Spanish Animals bingo

1. 1

   Print the Spanish Animals cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with la araña, la abeja, la cebra, el caballo and el lobo.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 41 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with la hormiga, la cebra, el cerdo, el oso and el búho; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Call the animal sound or a quick mime instead of the word, and let the class name it in Spanish, such as “el león” for a roar, before anyone marks.

4. 4

   Point out that “el pez” is a live fish while “el pescado” is fish as food, a distinction learners meet as soon as they order a meal.

5. 5

   Group the calls by habitat, farm first, then the zoo, then the sea, and ask players to say “vive en la granja” or “vive en el mar”.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (la araña in this set's order) and a blackout near call 38; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Spanish Animals bingo variations

• Spanish Animals variation

  Gender sort bingo: the caller says an animal without the article, such as “ballena”, and players must call out “el” or “la” correctly before marking. A wrong article means waiting one turn.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, la araña to el perro; on average one card fills after 40.3 of the 41 calls (98% of the deck).

• Picture bingo for pre-readers

  Use 3x3 cards with the 41 entries that have a symbol, such as el perro, el gato and el pájaro.
