Rosary Bingo
Directions: Students play regular bingo, but they answer questions about the Rosary. The
teacher asks one student at a time a question from the list below. The student answers the
question and the class looks for the word(s) on their bingo card. The first student who
gets five in a row (up, down, across, or diagonal) on their bingo card first, wins. You can
play in teams or individually. (The teacher can give the students some hints to help
them answer the questions correctly if needed.)
