Lesson Plan Info	A good way to set your students up is to tell them, the previous day, that they will have a spelling test on the next day. When you arrive in class, hand out the bingo cards face down, and tell the students it is their test paper. When they turn it out, they are usually surprised that it isn't like the normal test paper. Tell them to start the spelling test, filling in words randomly in the blank squares until the bingo card is completely filled. Afterwords, finish the test and start playing bingo using vocabulary from the chapter. If someone gets bingo, check their spelling. If they get it right, give out a small prize. If not, keep playing until someone gets it. At the end of the class, you can collect the cards and grade them as a spelling quiz, if you like. One thing to keep in mind is that the time you spend on the quiz could vary greatly, depending on whether you simply call out vocabulary words, ie "Vocab Word 1", or go according to BINGO protocol, ie "N-Vocab Word 1". I tried this using the latter version, and in 45 minutes of playing, we had only 2 students get BINGO, one of whom didn't spell his words properly. Even so, kids were generally attentive during this time, so I'd label it a pretty successful time-waster.
