About these earth day bingo cards

Earth Day bingo turns environmental vocabulary into a game. Words like compost, conserve, habitat and pollution give you a quick way to review a science unit, and each call is a chance to talk about one small thing students can do to help.

Print the cards on scrap paper or the back of old worksheets to fit the theme, and use bottle caps as markers. Every card is unique and the caller sheet is included.

How to make bingo cards

  1. 1

    Type or paste your words, one per line. Use vocabulary, sight words, math facts or anything your class is learning.

  2. 2

    Pick a grid size and how many cards you need. Every card is shuffled differently, so no two students share a board.

  3. 3

    Print the cards, or choose Save as PDF in the print window. The caller sheet prints on the last page.

  • Science review

    Call definitions instead of words to review your ecosystems unit.

  • Clean-up follow-up

    End with a ten-minute schoolyard clean-up using the classroom timer.
