I gave my students dry erase markers to “mark” their squares each round. Drawing from a bowl just amps it up a notch! If you want to save yourself some time, I have Bingo games already created for US History for you. Of course, I always try and add some drama to the game. I cut mine up and put them in a bowl so that I could “draw” a question each time. As a teacher, all you need are your questions. Simply create a blank board (use notebook paper or computer paper) and have students write the terms in anywhere they wish. This way students can pick from the list and their boards will be different. If you do this, I suggest you make create more than 25 terms. Some teachers will put the terms on the whiteboard or screen for students to make their own Bingo cards. So how do you quickly make a Bingo game for your class? They would sort of look around at each other with that look of “Am I right?” If I saw this look in several students, I would make a note of that concept and reteach it at the end of class. Crazy concept, right? If they miss a question, they miss out on an opportunity to win.Īs I observed students playing, I could tell immediately if they didn’t remember a concept. On the student side, they have to LISTEN. I choose what topics, the level, and amount of questions I ask. The thing I like about Bingo is that I am still controlling the game and content. One student said, “What about Bingo?” In unison, the rest of the class yelled “YES!” That got me to thinking… it’s time to create an old school Bingo game for my class. When I asked them why, I get answers like “We use Kahoot in every class now” or “I just played Quizlet Live last period.” Bottom line, I think kids are getting tired of them! So, I decided to ask my students: “Got any ideas? What would you like to play?” Recently, I’ve noticed that my students aren’t as excited to play. Kids love games like Kahoot, Quizlet Live, Gimkit and others.
I’ve been using online games to review content with my students for a long time now.
