Point Bingo

Vocabulary review/learning game with 25 questions and points instead of prizes.

Overview:
There are 25 boxes in a bingo board grid with a simple matching question in each box so as to not take up too much room.
There are many random selection tools online, and the one I use is this one. https://pickerwheel.com/tools/random-number-generator/ I remove the finished numbers as I go to keep it running smoothly.

The team who answers the selected question can roll the die for points. There is also a +/-/no points die you can use for your super chaotic classes, or you can use the point die by itself if you have a more serious/sensitive class. While I have added the various dice in a cut-print-tape format, I use some jumbo dice I ordered online and tape the options to them.

All teams should keep track of the finished numbers no matter who answered the question. They will all count toward their bingo chances. If they get 5 in a row, they can roll the bingo die.

Warnings:
-Likely to result in chaos. Do not give prizes as this game is built to be extremely unfair and ironic.
-Changing the contents of the bingo questions is kind of a headache. There is a bingo randomizer on Canva, and there are a few websites that will generate bingo cards saving you time and effort. The downside is that most websites use the enter key as the spacer for the next box, so it's difficult to get the formatting just right when putting vocabulary and matching options. One sentence with options in (little)(parenthesis)(like)(these) could be an easier solution, but it could also be visually overwhelming for students.
