Fourth Grade:
Using the traditional Bingo format,

use the following words to fill in the Bingo grid, or create
their own: Joseph Warren, 1796, The
Kalista, steamboat, Barren River, Green River, The Evansville,

center, cruise, collision, Civil War, tobacco, New Orleans, honeymoon
cruise, Mammoth Cave, circus, economy, river improvements.
Eighth Grade:
The teacher should omit the "Bingo"
heading from the traditional Bingo grid. Then create clues in
the form of questions that correspond to the answers in the Bingo
grid. Play the game in class, designating yourself as the caller.
Eleventh Grade:
Use the same grid outlined in
the 8th grade lesson plan. Assign each student to write one clue
that for a particular answer in the grid. The teacher should
check the clues prior to playing the game in class.
