Vinga!

Cambodia or Thailand, it doesn't matter; kids love to play Bingo. Pictured here are Cambodian and Thai students improving their knowledge of English vocabulary in a fun way.

We have played it in class, at school open days, English camps and as a bit of impromptu fun; it's always a success. It's particularly good for shy students and those with limited English as it is a simple and non-threatening game to play; that's a fact easily demonstrated as hordes of once reticent kids show an eagerness to take part once they understand the rules of the game.


For some reason the Cambodian tongue has difficulty getting itself around the pronunciation of 'Bingo.' Vinga they enthusiastically shout when they win the game!
