Types of Variables Bingo Cards

Variables Bingo Card

These cards are about Variables. Variables are entities that can take on different values, or can vary in value. Variables are not only quantitative as in algebra, but things like "age" and "gender" can be variables, too. This list shows different types of variables. These include words like continuous, dummy, manipulative, outcome, and ratio-scale.

We made the cards using Bingo Card Creator. You can download a PDF file of eight cards ready to cut up and play.

How To Play Types of Variables Bingo

  1. Print out your free Variables bingo boards, or make custom ones with Bingo Card Creator. Click here to get started.
  2. Give one card to each player.
  3. Call off words randomly (you can read them left to right, top to bottom off a card yourself if that helps you). You can either just say a word, like "multiple response", or you can make up a more involved clue involving multiple response.
  4. When a word is called, each player should find it and mark it.
  5. The first player(s) to clear five words in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins a small prize.

Notes: How long a bingo game lasts depends on what pace you read the clues at and how many players you have. If you read faster, such as for older or more experienced students, or if you have more players, the game tends to end more quickly. In general, I suggest allocating between twenty and thirty minutes to a bingo game. Since they can potentially end as early as the fourth word called, though that is quite rare, I encourage you to keep playing in the event of the game being over earlier than you expected it to be.
