FACTOR BINGO


Materials:
  • a Factor Bingo Game Mat (Game Master 15) for each player
  • 1 Everything Math Deck, 4 cards each of digits 2-9 only (or an equivalent set of number cards)
  • 12 pennies or counters for each player
Number of Players:

Two (2) to Four (4)

Directions:

Players write any numbers from 2 through 90 in the blank squares on their game mats.  They may use each number only once.  (To help them keep track of their numbers, suggest that they circle the numbers they use in the list below the mat.)

A player shuffles the playing cards and places them facedown on the playing surface.  Players take turns.  At each turn, a player turns over the top cards from the deck.  This is the factor.  Each player then places a penny or counter on one number on the mat for which the number on the card is a factor.  For example, if a 5-card is turned over, any player may place one counter on any number that is a multiple of 5, such as 15, 20, 25, or 30.

The first player to get 5 counters in a row, column, or diagonal, or to get 12 counters anywhere on the grid, calls out "Bingo" and wins the game.  If all the cards are used before someone wins, a player reshuffles them and the game continues.
