Cold War: Bingo EOC Review Game

Are you in a review game rut? I had played Quizlet Live, Kahoot and others so much, my students were tired of them. One day a student asked, “Can we play BINGO?” – and this product is the result. Cold War Bingo! My kids had a blast playing it. After a student won a round, I would have students exchange cards and we played over and over. I gave candy for the winners.

What is included?

• 36 Bingo Cards – each one is unique.
• 2 sets of Questions for the teacher – Set #1 - is on “clipboards” designed for you to cut up and place in a bowl or box to “draw” from. This way you can randomly ask the questions! Set #2 – is the paper saver version. I’ve included a blank spot next to each question so you can mark off which questions you have asked. If you laminate these, you can use them over and over!
• Suggestions on a variety of ways to play. I laminated my cards and students used dry erase markers to mark their answers. I’ve also used beans, or cut up pieces of paper as the markers. Use what you have!
