Bingo can be a versatile and engaging tool for spicing up end-of-module revision and other contexts in which course content is being reviewed. Instead of numbers being called out, students are given a verbal clue that fits with one of the answers on their playing grid. Get five correct answers in any straight line (including either of the major diagonals) and they win the game. The interactive and light-hearted medium of a bingo game can provide motivation for study and enhance learning by the students. Protein revision bingo is included as an example.
