Background Students have made their name tags, but have not introduced themselves to each other yet. Classification Bingo Chart Preparation Provide a copy of the attached Bingo chart for each student. The larger version, or overhead transparency, of the Bingo chart is for collating the class information for use in DNA activities which will occur later in the course. Procedure Give each student a Bingo chart and tell them that the object of the game is to meet people and to get a Bingo by adding people's names to their chart. Students will walk around the room and ask each other questions in order to put names in the squares that qualify for both categories on the side and top of the chart.
People can only have their name in two squares on someone's chart.
For example, Bob is male and wears a watch, but he is also a fifth grade teacher that can curl his tongue. Therefore, Bob would be placed in the two squares corresponding to these combined categories. He may be able to put his name in other squares, but for one chart only two are allowed. A Bingo is any consecutive horizontal, vertical or diagonal set of names. Directions Students walk around the room and ask each other questions in order to put names in the squares.
