FAQ

What does it cover?

40 entries running the full sweep: the ancient world, the Middle Ages and the plague, the Renaissance and Reformation, revolutions from French to Industrial, both world wars, the Cold War and decolonisation.

How do teachers use it?

Two ways. As a review game before a unit test, where students mark squares as terms come up. Or as a term-long card, marked off as each topic is taught, which gives the course a visible shape.

Can I narrow it to one unit?

Yes, and for a single test that works better. Edit the list before printing and keep only the era you are covering, then use a 4x4 grid instead of a 5x5.

Is it free?

Free with no signup. High School Math Bingo does the same job for the maths department.
