A coding activity for 40 sight words using the binary alphabet code.

Content:

10 "Binary Bingo" cards

1 Alphabet Code Card

2 "Binary Bingo Codes" cards with 40 codes (20 codes on each page).

1 "Binary Bingo Answers" card.

Procedure:

Laminate all 14 "Binary Bingo" pages.

How To Play:

Each participant takes 1 binary alphabet code card.

Ask participants to choose a "Binary Bingo" card.

Each student, one at a time, chooses a binary bingo code from the container.

The participant refers to the binary alphabet code card to decipher the code.

If the code word appears on her/his card, the participant places the binary code on the word.

If no word is found, put the binary code back into the container.

First child to decipher 9 binary codes is the winner.

Correction is done by the participants.
