About Spanish Food Words bingo

Spanish Food Words Bingo covers what students need to read a menu or a grocery list, from staples like “el pan”, “el arroz” and “los frijoles” to fruit such as “la piña” and “la sandía” and the three meals, “el desayuno”, “el almuerzo” and “la cena”. It suits middle and high school Spanish units on food, restaurants and daily routines.

This Spanish Food Words list is 42 entries long and a 5x5 card with a free center takes 24, which leaves 18 off each card. That is why one entry (el agua, say) appears on about 17 of 30 cards: card 1, for instance, has no el pan or el agua.

The caller reads the 42 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.

How to host Spanish Food Words bingo

  1. Print the Spanish Food Words cards

    Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with la sopa, la fresa, el jugo, el limón and el pastel.

  2. Print the caller sheet

    All 42 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with el arroz, el café, el maíz, el huevo and la leche; tick each one as you read it out.

  3. Mention regional words as you call them: “la papa” is “la patata” in Spain, “el plátano” can also be “la banana”, and “el jugo” is “el zumo”.

  4. Point out that “el agua” takes “el” even though it is feminine, and ask the class why they still say “el agua fría”.

  5. After each call, ask “¿Te gusta…?” and let a volunteer answer “Sí, me gusta” or “No, no me gusta” before marking.

  6. Call until someone shouts bingo

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