PLAYING THE GAME

To play Plant Growth Bingo:

  • Save a copy of the plant growth bingo boards on each student computer (in addition to the master copies saved on your computer).
  • Assign students numbers (1 through 24, for example, if you have 24 students in your class), and then have each student open the file with the corresponding number.
  • Explain to students that you are going to call out definitions. When they hear the definition of a word that's on their board, they should cover that word with a blue game piece. (Be sure to have available a copy of the words and definitions from the Great Plant Escape Glossary.)
  • Point out to students that they can make extra game pieces by clicking the blue square and clicking Edit>Duplicate (or Command D).
  • Begin calling out definitions. The first student who covers five squares in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, is the winner. (Be sure to check the answers!)
