Bingo Brain BreakĪnyone who teaches block schedules knows that students sometimes struggle once they hit that hour mark. It’s easy to set up and implement (more on that later). Even though there’s no skill involved, it’s still a confidence booster to win. Pure luck gives everyone a chance to be a winner. Students who need a bit more time processing have just as much of a chance to win.

Most students have this knowledge locked down. They need to know five letters and numbers 1-75. It really is a game that just about anyone can play. Let me quickly break down why Bingo is my favorite game for students (high school students in particular). I’ll detail how and why, and then I’ll break down how to make a game of your own so you can play on the fly with minimal prep needed.

Can we talk about how Bingo is the most underrated game for the classroom? It gets no love even though my students tend to love it! A brain break, a reward, a social event, and occasionally even a tool to educate – Bingo does it all.
