Bingo!

Today I played Christmas bingo with my students.  I hadn't played this before because I didn't want to print a bunch of bingo cards, but today it hit me that I could just have the students draw their own! Of course!!I had already showed them my Christmas PowerPoint  so I just drew each word on the board and had them tell me what it is.  They remembered most of them, so it was a good way to review.  Then I had them draw a bingo card with four boxes by four boxes (16 total).  I had written all the words an separate pieces of paper, so then I pulled the papers out of a box.  The students really liked it, and it took me less than five minutes to prepare! I just came up with a list of Christmas words.  The only problem is that for some reason the same papers kept getting chosen so the same people were winning, until I said you couldn't win more than once.  If you do this, make sure your students draw the square right- some were just drawing pictures without boxes, or they only had 2x4.  I will definitely do this again for other holidays!
