Teenage Bingo
ESL Vocab Game for Older Kids, Teens and Adults. Bingo is a classic gambling game where players mark off numbers on cards as the numbers are drawn randomly by a caller, the winner being the first person to mark off all their numbers on their Bingo card. Instead of displaying the words “BINGO” at the top, the game cards (linked below) display “NDAFW.” (You can print the cards provided or make your own.) The center of the card is an empty ('free') space; the other blocks are filled with terms related to NDAFW.
The National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® (NDAFW) Bingo game educates players about topics and facts related to drug and alcohol use. Anyone can use the NDAFW Bingo game: classrooms, school-wide groups, community groups, and others.

Teen Bingo
The caller (teacher, RA, or mentor) calls out a word from the NDAFW Vocabulary Sheet (linked below) and reads the definition that goes with that word. The game continues until one of the players has a winning BINGO pattern (up, down, across, or diagonal).
After the game ends, callers can finish reading the vocabulary words that weren’t called and their definitions.
