Element Bingo

Students were asked to draw up a table as shown below and use their Periodic table to find the symbols for the given elements. They were then requested to make a card for each element. The cards had the element's name on one side and the element's symbol on the other. We played bingo at the beginning of our lessons on a regular basis.

The game consisted of the students dealing out 10 cards, I would tell them whether to have the name or the symbol facing upwards. If the symbol was facing upwards I would call out the name of the elements until someone called out bingo. If the name was facing upwards I would call out the symbols.
