The Story of the “Earth BINGO”

Some of my classmates are having a challenge studying to the unit test on the earth. I thought it was a great idea to create an interactive game that will help them review. After someone hits bingo they will have to tell what each word means. This is another form of review. Plus it will be loads of fun.

Game DirectionsThe goal of the game is to identify the layers of the earth, its crust and plate tectonics. As well as how its defined.

To play the game you have to click on each slide to ask the question. The game participant matches the word of the definition on their BINGO card.

To win the game you have to have 5 in a row (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) .

Once a winner is identified the game can start again with by switching the players cards. The winner will need to define each selected word before declared the official winner of the game.
