• Bingo Game - download one of the PowerPoint templates below for a 9 square or a 25 square bingo game.  Students can add their own words to create a bingo board and then play together as a group in a multi-computer setting (like the lab.)  Then use the Random Picker Website (created by Mike Johnson) to enter your words and let the computer do the picking for you.

  Right click on the bingo template and choose Save As...to save them to your computer.  You will not be able to edit them if play online.
