Even adults enjoy playing bingo as a reflection tool for professional development or have parents participate in a bingo game for open house. Bingo is a great game to play for reflection on a particular unit of study, math facts, definitions (they have to know the definition of the word if they call out “Bingo”). The great thing is that it is very rare to have two users with the same bingo cards, as they are randomly sorted so that a whole class can play the game and have one unique winner. Once students open the bingo game, they TAP on the square (iPad) or CLICK in the square (computer). If they are using a computer, you can distribute the URL for the game however you wish (I would publish the link on my site or distribute URL via Air Drop). The easiest way to distribute the game is to create a QR Code (my favorite QR code generator is Students will scan the code and open up the bingo game on their iPad. I recently stumbled upon an online bingo creator that allows the user to create a game, distribute the URL to students, and have them play on their device.
I have used bingo as a teaching tool for as long as I can remember. If you’re at all like me, then you like to play bingo.
