Five Plus Bingo

Materials:
Gameboard for each student
6-sided die
About 25 transparent chips for each student

Play:
The players take turns rolling the die and announcing the sum of the number
rolled and 5. For example, if a 1 turns up, the sum is 6. Whoever has a 6 on his/her
board covers it. The winner is the first person to get 6 in a row vertically, horizontally, or
diagonally.

Note: Here are two sample game boards. You can make other game boards by randomly
placing the numbers 6-11 on a 6 by 6 gameboard. Each number should appear 6
times on the gameboard. I have also attached a blank gameboard for your future
use.
