Agree on names and calls

Prepare theme vocabulary with examples such as flower, candle, ofrenda, remembrance, skull, paper. Before handing out cards, review the caller’s chosen names so everyone identifies the same picture or word.

After the activity

Describe one motif and something you would like to learn about it; participants do not need to share personal memories. Explore Day of the Dead vocabulary through flowers, ofrendas and decorative motifs while distinguishing the celebration from Halloween.

Agree how the game ends

A line and a full card are different winning targets. Explain the chosen pattern before the first call and show an example. When someone calls bingo, compare their marked spaces with the recorded calls before starting another round.
