The Metcalf Elementary students are using Appleworks to initially learn their keyboarding and word processing. The most time-consuming part of the preparation of the game is the preparation of the Bingo game cards. The questions which test the above objective are each written on a card. The cards can easily be shuffled as the game is replayed. The cards have prewritten answers in the different blocks of the cards.
Extra cards make is convenient for students who wish to change cards.
Distribute game cards and envelope containing colored cardboard squares for marking squares. To review, reread the questions and check the answers. This can be done as the game is played so that all students can cover the correct answer. Students prefer this, of course, and it provides immediate reinforcement. Explanations of why an answer is correct can also be given as the game is played.
