The scope of the vocabulary taught to any one group is dependent upon the age and 
maturity of the students and the thoroughness with which the election process will be 
taught in the classroom.  Citizenship Bingo can be adapted to any situation or age group.  
The empty cards may be fitted with simple words or even icons for younger or slower learners.  
The best way to adapt the vocabulary list is to take the words directly from the material 
the teacher intends to teach.  The list provided is included simply as a guide: however, 
it is a fairly comprehensive list for upper elementary students.  Vocabulary must be 
taught before the game is effective: however after that time, the game may be repeated as 
often as necessary or desired.
