BINGO
To use the bingo-style questions, students read the informational text about government, and then they answer questions on the bingo grid. The grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo.
How to Play the Bingo Game:
The first page includes an answer key. Cut out the question squares, place them in a bag or container, and call out the questions. Students will answer the questions and mark their Bingo grids. The objective is to get 5 in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally). Students can use counters, tokens, or treats to track their progress!
