Hello everyone, I've just started teaching several classes of primary school children in France and would like to try some of bingo worksheets. I'm assuming that if I have a class of 20 kids I have to hit the shuffle button 20 times and print them out. The problem is that I'm confused about the answer key - how does that fit in with the calling out? I remember bingo being called out like 'under the I, under the B etc.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Also, you don't need to make different bingo cards for everyone. If you break your class up into groups to play, you can just make 10 or so boards and print out 5 sets.

Does that make sense?

What I do is print out the answer key, cut them into pieces and then pull them out of a hat. You can randomly assign B,I,N,G or O to the object that you call out, but don't forget to either write the letter on the paper or make a note of it on a different piece of paper.

Personally, I would use pencil and just write the letters across the top of the paper very small. That way you can use the cards many times and still easily keep track of what you called.

I am new to this forum and website, and have the same question as Frenchgirl. Forgive my ignorance but I am STILL confused. Could some kind person give methodical step by step instructions for bingo please? For instance, for a class of x students, print x to x number of cards,then be very specific about the next steps. (I never played before.) Thanks in advance.
