Bingo –the word conjures up a picture of crowded Bingo halls where elders are busy striking off those lucky numbers on Bingo tickets, engaging in banter with their Bingo friends.

I still remember how I envied my parents their ‘right’ to play Bingo while I was allowed was a peep into the Bingo halls. The loud calling of Bingo numbers and the exultant screams made me curious and I constantly dreamed about playing Bingo. But the kids these days are lucky. Thanks to British government’s behavior expert, Sir Alan Steer. Steer seems to believe that the only way to keep children out of trouble’s way is to have them play Bingo!

Taking a cue from Steer’s findings, teachers are now warming up to the game. Well, it is said that it is far simpler to teach children through example rather than preaching. So do not be surprised to find teachers playing Bingo first. The way things are progressing, Bingo will soon make it to the textbooks and the school curriculum as well!

We in the Bingo industry had long since recognized the powers of Bingo. What Sir Alan Steer has said today, we practiced years ago! Take a look at all those math bingo, English Bingo, science Bingo and alphabetical bingo to know what we mean.

Mathematical Bingo cards is the most thrilling way of introducing students to various basic arithmetic calculations like, subtraction, addition, multiplication and division.

To encourage strong vocabulary, teachers can also prepare Bingo cards with words printed on it and distribute it among the students. They then call out the meanings or synonyms and students can mark the words corresponding to these definitions. For instance, if the teacher says “dark, dull and dismal” then students must mark the word dingy that holds the same meaning and may appear on the card! .

The same concept can be applied to different subjects to help students increase their knowledge on grammar, science, history, current affairs and general knowledge .

Three Cheers to Bingo Games!
