Google Slides and BINGO!

 Google Slides and BINGO!

After sharing Jamboard Bingo with a few folks, I got this email from Gail Komm (SMS 7th-grade science educator):

 Rose shared the JamBoard bingo idea with me. Since I have more than 20 students in my class, I created a bingo board on google slides, but same exact setup. I'm having the students create their own bingo boards. We watched a BrainPop video and I'm asking them questions from the video. The answers are the keywords they used for their boards. They are loving it!!! 

Special thanks to Gail for responding to my request to share her slides and directions.  She even created a Bingo board you could copy!  Open this file and make a copy- you will be on your way to your first game!

Jamboard Bingo

Alice Keeler has a nice template as well as suggestions for creating Jamboard bingo.  Even the little red markers are there!  Everything is in her video here. I like the concept of allowing kids to create their own boards (this also makes it easier on you- while I did create some yesterday, it does take time). But the students will be able to move/change the words.

If you don’t want the students to be able to change the words- your only option is to create each jam sheet and then download it as an image.  Then upload that image to the background.  This would still allow you to add movement on top.  Clearly, this is substantially more work.  And I’m not sure if I am ready to commit- I will try the student-created ones first!
