Reading Challenge for KS2 - 'Summer Bingo Book Bonanza'

A bingo-style reading challenge to inspire your KS2 students to continue their reading over the summer holidays.

Instead of numbers, each of the 25 bingo circles contains a different genre of book for your students to read - from ‘Famous Lives,’ to ‘Mind-Bending Mysteries.’ From ‘Poetry’ to ‘Magazines’ - challenging them to stretch their reading habits.

Once the student has finished reading a title in their chosen genre, they can then cross out the relevant bingo circle and move onto the next one. The challenge is to complete at least one of the 10 bingo patterns - shown at the top of the sheet - giving each student the choice of how they can win.

I give these sheets to my new class when I meet them before summer, and ask them to bring the sheets back in come September, along with a book review of the favourite book that they read for the competition. I also have lots of prizes on hand for those that have taken part.

It’s a great way t get to know your new class before September, get some quick easy wins and inspire a wider love of reading in your students.

Enjoy
