She says: “I recently used it for my afterschool read aloud. I used the vocabulary option and put character names and other relevant words for the book we are reading. You get a print out of all the words you use and can just make up the question as you play. The bingo cards that print out are all different. When we play next week we’ll use Xmas colored m&ms to cover the words. I’m think about making up a game for teens with popular YA titles.”
According to Carol, “The possibilities are endless!” Be sure to explore the whole site. Have fun everyone!
