Expert Tips

Make it a class activity. Teachers can use this bingo game as an icebreaker on the first day of school to help students feel comfortable.
Play different versions. Instead of stopping at a single line, try “Four Corners,” “X Across the Board,” or “Cover All” to keep the fun going.
Organize storage. Keep the laminated cards and cut-out calling squares in a labeled envelope or cardboard shirt box so you can pull them out easily next year.
