How to host Spanish Family Words bingo

1. 1

   Print the Spanish Family Words cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with el sobrino, la madre, la suegra, el abuelo and la hermanastra.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 40 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with el primo, los padres, los abuelos, la madrina and el cuñado; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Call plural forms and ask what they include: “los hermanos” can mean brothers or brothers and sisters, and “los padres” usually means parents rather than fathers.

4. 4

   Pair masculine and feminine squares when calling, such as “el sobrino” then “la sobrina”, so learners hear how the ending changes with the person.

5. 5

   Describe a relationship in Spanish, like “la hermana de mi madre”, and let players find “la tía”, which practices the possessive with “de”.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (la hermana in this set's order) and a blackout near call 37; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Spanish Family Words bingo variations

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, el sobrino to la nieta; on average one card fills after 39.4 of the 40 calls (98% of the deck).

• Quick 4x4 round

  A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 40 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 38.6 calls instead of 39.4.
