What you need:

Blank Bingo game cards

List of terms and definitions
Preparations by the teacher:
 Prepare a list with terms and their matching definitions that the students have learned in the last few classes. (In this case, terms regarding conservation biology)

It might be a good idea to have prepare more terms than squares on the game cards, this way there will be more diverse playing cards.
 To create the calling cards, cut up one photocopy of this list so that each piece of paper contains one term and its definition. These cards will later serve as calling cards.

Make enough copies of the list to hand out to the students before the game (one copy per two students should be enough).
 Each student will also receive a blank Bingo game card.
Starting the game:
1. Establish the rules of the game; most importantly agree on what counts as a
Bingo: one line of five called definitions (straight, diagonally, L-shape etc.) or perhaps even two lines.
2. The students receive the list of terms and definitions. They then have time to review the terms. Alternatively, the teacher can review the terms with the whole class.
3. After they have also received the blank Bingo cards, the students can fill out the blank squares on their card by using terms found on the list. Each term may only be used once.
The space in the middle stays blank and serves as a “joker”.
4. When everyone is ready, the students will have to hand back the list of terms and the game begins.
5. The teacher can now pull a random calling card from a small box or bag and then only read out the definitions. Students who think they have a matching term on their bingo card should mark that square.
6. The first student that achieves a bingo wins. http://biologiebilingual.jimdo.com/teaching-material/games/

Note:
In order to play the game more than once, the students can use bingo markers (little stones, dry pasta, etc.) instead of pens to mark their Bingo cards. In this case, it is important to tell the students not to clear their bingo cards when someone calls bingo until it has been checked if the student filled out the card correctly. This way no one will be upset if a student made a mistake by marking a wrong definition. http://biologiebilingual.jimdo.com/teaching-material/games/

Habitat Destruction :
The transformation of natural environments by human activities.
Invasive Species :
A plant or animal that is brought to a habitat where it did not exist before.
Ecosystem:
A community of plants and animals that interact with each other and with the environment in which they live. One example is a coral reef.
Overexploitation :
If the human use of plants or animals exceeds their reproduction rate.
Biodiversity :
The variety of life on earth, including the sum of all species, their genes and the habitats they inhabit.
Conservation :
The protection of endangered species, ecosystems, habitats and natural resources.
Conservation Biology :
A branch of biology that is concerned with the protection of biodiversity and finding solutions for biodiversity loss and the destruction of ecosystems.
Endangered Species :
Animal or plant species that are in danger of becoming extinct.
Extinction :
The death of all individuals of a certain species.
Habitat :
The natural area in which a certain species lives and is at “home”.
Limited Resources :
Resources (e.g. energy resources) that cannot be replaced once they are used up (like coal or natural gas).
Habitat fragmentation:
When a habitat is separated into single fragments, for example when a road is built through a part of a forest. http://biologiebilingual.jimdo.com/teaching-material/games/

Ecological Footprint :
Measures the area of the earth’s surface which is needed to provide a person/city/country with all raw materials and products that are needed to maintain their lifestyle.
Wildlife Corridor :
Connects two or more habitat fragments with each other in order to increase the habitat area for wildlife populations.
Habitat Preserve:
Habitats that are being protected and sometimes also restored in order to protect rare plant and animal species that live in the habitat.
Red List:
A worldwide list that evaluates the risk of extinction of species.
Earth Summit:
An international conference held by the UN (United Nations) regarding environmental issues.
Sustainability :
This concept means to live within our limits in order to ensure that following generations are able to live the same way we do.
Deforestation:
The clearing of a forest (when all trees are cut down).
Food Web:
Describes the feeding relationships between the organisms of an ecosystem.
Recycle:
To process materials so that they can be used again.
Population :
All members of a species within a certain area (e.g. all brown trouts of a lake).
Pollution :
Waste or toxins that degrade water, air and land. http://biologiebilingual.jimdo.com/teaching-material/games/
