The Play:

Teacher gives the students nine questions to answer using the overhead projector. The students are allotted an amount of time to answer only eight of the questions (they are allowed a free space in the center of their board). They take their answers and place them anywhere they want on their bingo board. The teacher has the answers on pieces of paper that they pull out of a bag, hat, etc one at a time. As the answers are called out, the students cross them off on their board. When a student has crossed out three in a row they win.
