Print the Periodic Table Bingo Cards (pages 5-44).  There are forty unique bingo cards. 
You may choose to give your students a periodic table to reference.   
 
Begin by reading clues about the element and allow students about 5-10 seconds to mark 
the appropriate element on their card.  Refer to the table (pages 2-4) for clues.  Students 
should listen to the clue, determine if that element is on the card and place a coin, piece 
of paper, or disc on the indicated symbol. The winner should shout bingo when he/she 
has marked the correct pattern of elements on the bingo card.  
 
For younger students- You may choose to call out the atomic number of the element and 
allow the students to reference the periodic.   
 
The more often you play this game the more familiar your students will become with the 
periodic table of elements.
