Make your classroom celebrations extra fun with this Thanksgiving ESL Vocabulary Bingo Game! Perfect for ELL, ESL, and EFL students, this printable activity helps learners review and practice 26 Thanksgiving words while building listening and speaking skills. Bingo is always a student favorite, and it’s an excellent way to introduce or reinforce holiday vocabulary in a fun, interactive setting.
Each bingo card features colorful Thanksgiving-themed images such as turkey, pumpkin, corn, pie, family, dinner, and more. Students will listen carefully as the teacher calls out each word, then mark the matching picture on their board. The first player to cover a row, column, or diagonal shouts “BINGO!”—but the learning doesn’t stop there. You can extend the activity by asking students to say a sentence using the word or practice spelling after a winner is declared.
What’s Included:
- 30 different Bingo Boards (perfect for whole-class use)
- Teacher calling cards with image + word for 26 Thanksgiving vocabulary terms
- Print-and-play format—just laminate for long-term classroom use
This resource is ideal for classroom parties, small groups, centers, or holiday-themed ESL lessons. Teachers love that it’s low-prep and reusable year after year. Students love that it feels like a game, not a worksheet, while still practicing essential English vocabulary.
