LESSON 9 Product Bingo

This is a game for five players. The object of the game is to be the first player to place four markers in a row or a marker in each corner.

Materials

  • Product Bingo Game Boards in the Student Activity Book for each player
  • Clear plastic spinner or a pencil and a paper clip
  • Small objects such as beans to use as markers

Directions

  1. Choose one player to be the Caller. The remaining players each choose a game board from the Product Bingo Game Boards page.
  2. The Caller spins the spinner twice, keeping track of all digits spun by writing multiplication sentences on a piece of paper.
  3. If the product of the spun digits is on a player's game board, he or she puts a marker on that number.
  4. The first player with four markers in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) or a marker in each corner is the winner. (The P space, for Product, is a free space.)
  5. The Caller records the winner and the winning game board for each game played.
  6. Switch the Caller and the game boards after each game.
