As a Teacher-Teaching-On-Call (TTOC aka substitute) you often go into a class and are left with students in a "study block" or where they are doing a "review worksheet" Often this has students bored, restless and leads to more opportunity for classroom behaviour concerns.
Similarly, as a classroom teacher, this is another fun way to review and study.
I found this activity online and thought it would be another fun way to make a class more engaging. You can use spelling words, facts on the subject they are studying and so on.
Bingo Facts. This is a fun way to help students
learn and recall weekly spelling words, vocabulary, math facts,
geography, science facts, or any other information.
Before you start, fold a paper so that sixteen squares appear. Cut along
the fold lines and number each square; put your squares into a
container. Have students create a “bingo sheet”
by folding a piece of notebook paper in half repeatedly until sixteen
folded squares appear. Ask the students to write a small number in the
upper right-hand corner of each square—in random order. Be sure to tell
them to leave room within the square for writing an answer.
Pick
a square from your container one at a time, say the number of the
square, and ask a question (e.g., a spelling word). Students must write
the answer (e.g., the spelling word) in the square corresponding to the
number you called. Whoever has completed a horizontal, vertical, or
diagonal row—with correct answers—wins! Be sure to check for accuracy
before declaring a winner. This is an easy game to play with all age
groups (perfect for Grades 2–8).
