How to play

  1. Choose a topic and take a card at the counter.

  2. Spin the cage and one ball rolls down to the rack.

  3. Read the word out and the class hunts for it on the card.

  4. Tap the square to stamp it.

  5. A full line lights the sign up — bingo.

  6. Deal a new card and play the round again.

Variations

Three ways to play it differently once the class knows the rules.

  1. Kid caller

    A student spins the cage and calls each word while the class stamps their cards.

  2. Full card

    Don't stop at the first line: keep calling until somebody fills the whole card.

  3. Printed cards

    Print the same topic's bingo sheets so every child has a card at their desk, and call from the screen.
