Classroom activities: Bingo - Print out a blank BINGO card for each student. Have each student randomly write some numbers between 1 and 20 in each square except for the "free" square with the X in it. The teacher (or a student) randomly calls out numbers between 1 and 20. The students put a marker (I use dry beans) on the number that was called. Don't forget to keep track of what numbers you have called so that you can verify the winner later. The first student who get five in a row wins.
