Economics Bingo!
There are many economic words and ideas in the stories you have read. After reading the stories and learning about economics, you are now ready to play the Economics Bingo Game! Your teacher will list all the economics words you have studied on the board. On the Bingo card write one of these words in each square. (You may write a word only once under each letter.) Your teacher will draw these words "out of a hat" and say the definition. Put a token on the square if you have the word. Five in a row makes Economics Bingo!
