* Included in this Club Activity Book and available for download at ClubLeaders
HOW TO PLAY
We have created 60 problems — with answers of 1–60, inclusive — for you to use. Make as many copies of the
blank BINGO card template as you need. Students then can fill in the 24 empty squares with any integers they
desire from 1-60, inclusive, using no integer more than once.
The BINGO PDF presentation for this activity is available for download at www.

pages.
Students can either (1) work on the problems alone, each student having a separate BINGO card, or (2) work in
small groups and share a BINGO card with their group. Students must work EVERY problem to see if the answer
to each problem is on their BINGO card. If an answer is on the card, students then cover the corresponding square
with a marker. (A marker can be any small object. If a student will use his BINGO card only once, then he can
simply cross off the numbers rather than covering them up.)
You can decide if you want to put a time limit on every question or if you want to vary the time depending on the
question. A time limit makes the exercise a little more challenging. Given that the numbers are in random order on
the card and the B-I-N-G-O letters cannot be used to find a number’s column, it will take students more time to
scan the entire card for an answer than it would to find B-4, for example. We recommend
allowing at least 45 seconds per problem.
