I work in a high school special education classroom. Our students are considered moderate intellect, so we play games such as this on a regular basis. The cards are 36 card stock bingo cards. They are glossy on one side and matte on the other.  It comes with punch out bingo chips that are a little lighter weight than the cards. There are also calling cards which have to be punched out as well. This is a career themed bingo game. All of the spaces are pictures of different jobs. One side of the card is all female workers and the other is all male workers. There are a few non-specific gender pictures that are the same on both sides, such as welder. The picture of the welder shows a person wearing protective gear so you can't see whether or not it's a male or female. I like that they include both genders, but it does seem a little odd that they aren't mixed. I would rather see one side with a mix of the two genders than separated. The pictures on the bingo cards are in color. The ones on the calling cards and calling mat are black and white. Another issue I have with this game, is that the pictures are a bit small. Some of our students have some level of vision impairment. The small size of the images may be challenging for some of them. It would also be nice if the calling cards were larger. For young children who may not be familiar with a career, you can show them the card after it has been called. The image on the calling cards is very small, so you can't just hold it up and show everyone. You would have to walk around the classroom and show it to each student individually. I think it's neat that there is a Bingo Caller app that goes along with this. Unfortunately it's for iPhones only, so I was unable to try it out with it. Overall, I think this is a great classroom game. I can definitely see this being helpful for an ESL class.
