Sometimes we all need a break from worksheets and bookwork... Chemistry BINGO is a great way to review chemistry topics like the periodic table of elements, stoichiometry, and electron configuration.
There are a few times in the year where me and my students need to shake up the typical rhythm of lecture and work so that we can still review the necessary topics but have a little fun doing it. That's why I created a line of Chemistry BINGO games. I intentionally chose topics that can be a little repetitive or challenging for students when making these BINGO games.
The first BINGO game was made to help students familiarize themselves with the periodic table, specifically, the names and symbols of elements as well as their placement. I also wanted students to identify elements based on their atomic number, atomic mass, group, period, and element type (ie. alkaline earth metals, noble gases, halogens etc.).
Because students really have to familiarize themselves with the periodic table, I made two versions of this game. (See below).
The first version focuses on students memorizing element names and symbols. The second version is all about element identification and placement on the periodic table using clues. There are digital slides for the teacher to use on a screen so students can quickly and easily see what the teacher calls out (rather than the teacher having to repeat themselves three times for the person in the back not paying attention...just saying...I've been there).
In addition to the digital Powerpoint slides, the teacher has a printable calling card to keep track of the elements called out, and of course, there are printable BINGO cards for the students in both color and black and white.
The next set of Chemistry BINGO is all about electron configuration. Because students need to learn both the full electron configurations and noble gas electron configurations, I made two versions of this BINGO game as well.
Again, students will be able to follow along with the teacher's digital slides. I have added links to all the slides for the teacher so navigating through them will be a breeze!
The next BINGO game is stoichiometry themed. Some students need A LOT of repetition with stoichiometry problems. So, in this version of BINGO I included 24 stoichiometry problems for students to solve.
In addition to the answers being revealed when the teacher chooses to do so, I included links to detailed solutions so students can quickly determine if they solved the problem correctly or not.
