Pedagogical Game: Math Bingo

The ever-popular game of bingo can be a fun activity for practising multiplication tables. All you have to do is call out mathematical operations instead of numbers and create bingo cards containing the answers.

Start by writing out different operations on small pieces of paper and putting them all in a bowl. You can ask your students to help with making the bingo cards and coming up with the operations. Next, draw a random piece of paper from the bowl and read out the operation. Students who spot the answer on their card get to mark it with a token. As in the original version of the game, the goal is to get a full line of tokens, whether vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
