Example puzzle — 26 of 26 words placed.
ESL bingo works best when every word is something a beginner can picture, so this list is made of high-frequency A1 nouns and verbs with one entry per letter of the alphabet. That structure means the same set can be used as a vocabulary review, an alphabet refresher, or a speaking drill where the learner must say a sentence before covering the square. It suits mixed-ability groups because the teacher controls the pace: call the bare word for beginners, or a short definition for learners who need the extra step. Cards are generated locally, so a language school can print sets on any machine without accounts or installs. Every card in a batch is unique, so pair work stays honest.
