Any Subject Lends Itself To Bingo

Science, Social Studies, and more!

Vocabulary: Similar to the vocabulary game described above, you say the definition of a word from your unit of study. The children place a marker on the corresponding word. Example: You say, "the planet closest to our sun" and the students mark "Mercury."

Facts: You say something like, "the number of planets in our solar system" and the children place a marker on "9". Continue with other number-based facts.

Famous People: Focus on famous people associated with your unit of study. For instance, you say, "This person wrote the Emanicaption Proclamation" and the students put a marker on "Abraham Lincoln".

Bingo is a wonderful game to keep in mind when you have a few extra minutes to fill in the day. Get creative and have fun with it. Your students surely will!
