As every educator knows, along with being able to read comes comprehension. Below are some ideas to help with the never-ending job of finding ways for your students/attendees to show their comprehension while having fun. All the activities can be tailored for small or large groups or homeschool learning. You can download the complete set of activities as a zip file here.

Asterian Bingo
This is a bit of a switch from the standard Bingo. In the instructions is a word list. Give the list to each student. They pick 24 words from the list and write them on the card in whichever box they want.
The teacher/parent/librarian also has the words cut down to word strips, which he/she folds and places in a container of some kind. Just like regular Bingo, you pull the words out one at a time. Options include 5-in-a-row, four corners, and entire board.
