Teacher’s Guide The Game The purpose of this activity is to test your students’ knowledge of topics they have learnt. The activity is a game of ‘Bingo’ – your students have a blank ‘Bingo card’ and you ask them to think and write down the possible answers to the question. After a couple of minutes the teacher reveals the answer by revealing the Bingo balls on the screen. Running the activity Give each student a copy of the printed off blank bingo card (print off as many copies of slide 5 as you need). After a few minutes click on ‘Start Bingo’. To call the answers, click on the space bar. Each answer will rise up. Game Setup Note – this game has randomly generated data using a ‘macro’ embedded within the file. For this file to work you must ‘enable’ the macro when prompted (on opening up of the file). Editing the resource: You can create your own question (with 9 answers). Go to slide 3 Input your question in row 1 and the 9 possible answers into rows 2 to 10. Click on the large button at the bottom of the slide to update the file and run the question.
