1. The document provides directions for playing a Cell and Microorganism Bingo game. It includes instructions for printing game boards and definition cards in different colors to organize multiple games. 2. It describes how two students compete by drawing definition cards and trying to identify the term to mark their board. If correct, both players mark their board to speed up game play. 3. The goal is to practice identifying key cell and microorganism vocabulary terms and have fun playing a competitive game.

2. Cell & Microorganism Bingo
Preparation Directions
1. Print out all copies on color Card Stock
2. Print 5 copies of the defnitions page. This allows 5 games to be played. To help with organization, print the 5 definition pages
on different color card stock. During the games, sometimes the squares will fall on the floor and if they weren't coded,
you would have a headache trying to remember which bag is missing a square.
3. Cut out the 5 pages of defintion squares. Place each page of cutout squares in a seperate ziploc bag for storage and organiazation
4. Print 2 copies of BINGO sheets 1-5. This will give you 10 copies.
Student Directions
1. Two students compete against each other. ( I prefer to let the students work together instead of whole class game.)
2. Scramble the definition squares and place them face down. Students make sure they have different BINGO sheets
3. Students draw the defintion squares and read them to their partner. If partner answers correctly, allow BOTH players to place bingo chip
on the word. It allows game to go faster, which students will want to play again, giving them more practice and chances to win.
4. If student doesn't know answer, square is moved to the middle of stack, to promote recall when the card is drawn again.
5. For BINGO chips, I used my Math Foam Counters.
