- Give every student a bingo card.
- Call out the definition, word, phrase or question.
- Students must then identify the word or picture on their bingo card and cover the space (If using slide 3 template, click on the picture to change the background color of the square).
- If a student has all words or pictures covered diagonally, across a row or vertically in a column, they should call BINGO.
- If a student claims they have BINGO and they are incorrect, they are disqualified from that round.
Modification Suggestions:
- Bingo cards can be used for just about any content area to reinforce definitions, new vocabulary, math problems, even long thought out questions.
- Update words and pictures for appropriate topics.
- Add sound effects.
- Develop one slide with words or pictures then copy the slide and move the words and pictures to other squares.
- Print the bingo cards on a color printer.
- Laminate the bingo cards for use in additional classes.
- To play bingo in a computer lab, develop multiple bingo cards and put them in a shared folder, then, have each student select a random bingo card to play.
