This activity is a fun way of reviewing the words used to describe the properties of materials.
Preparation required:
Print off the bingo cards, one card per pupil.
The property bingo cards are available A5 size, two cards per A4 page. The bingo
card is available in several versions, the only difference being the arrangement of
the eight property words in the grid. This is to encourage pupils to read the words
rather than copying their neighbour. You may like to use different coloured card
to print each version.
Print off one set of clues and cut the page so that each clue and
word is on a separate strip.
This resource can be reused many times if the cards and clues are laminated.
Ensure that pupils use water soluble marker pens to cross off the words and
wipe the cards clean when finished.
Instructions
1. Distribute the bingo cards between the pupils. Ensure the cards are mixed so
adjacent pupils don’t get the same arrangement of words on their card.
2. Explain that a statement will be read out which is a description of the property
of a material.
3. If they know which word is being described, they must put their hand up to give
their answer when asked. The clue reader should repeat the answer given to
ensure that all pupils have heard and agreed the answer. The pupils cross off
the word on their bingo card before the next clue is read out.
4. When a pupil has crossed off all the words on their card they can shout out an
appropriate word such as “Materials!”
5. Since all the cards are the same, the pupils should all get a full house at the
same time!
