  • As a class we will play Bingo with Medical Terms.  The students will make their own Bingo board using the word bank provided.  I will give each students a handful of paper clips to use as Bingo markers.  They will put one Medical Term in each box in the Bingo template.  The center box is a free space.  I will give the definition of the Medical Term and the students must locate the matching Medical Term on their Bingo board.  During the first few rounds of Bingo, the students will be able to use the definitions provided in the word bank, but after 10-15 minutes, no notes will be allowed.  The students will earn extra credit for winning a Bingo round.
