HOW TO PLAY
- Each student is given a chemical bingo sheet which contains 20 games.
- The teacher reads from the Chemical Bingo call sheet for a particular game. Start at No. 1
- Students must only play the game called. Eg. If the teacher calls items from game number 8 then the students can only cross off items from game number 8.
- If a student has the item the teacher calls for that game they cross the item off their sheet.
- The student who correctly crosses off all 8 items and calls out "CHEMICAL BINGO" first is the winner.
- The teacher can also check if the student items have been crossed off correctly by comparing the student sheet with the Chemical Bingo call sheet.
Note:
All games and items are randomised so that each student has a unique bingo sheet.
The Teachers Bingo Call sheet has two sets of items for each game. The first set contains the items that are called to the students. The second set of items allows the teacher to easily check if a winning student has correctly crossed off each item.
