Internet Bingo
.

Internet Bingo is suitable for all ages and groups of any size. Start with a 'whole class' game in which students individually or in pairs are rostered onto a computer to fill in the answer to any ONE question they choose from a grid square. You'll need enough squares in the Bingo grid to enable each student or pair of students to answer one question each. As soon as the class has completed the Bingo grid, they win a sport game outside, half an hour under the sprinklers, a token in the class reward jar, a night without homework, or whatever is appropriate for your reward system. Other options are to make two Bingo grids so that half the class can compete against the other, or use four grids and have house teams competing.
