Welcome to the Leaders of the American Revolution: Volume 1, American Leaders Preparing the Game: Print the bingo cards, the clue cards, and the markers (if you choose to use them). If you prefer, you can use beans, buttons, etc. as markers. You may also choose to laminate the cards and marker pages for repeated use. Cut apart the markers if you are using them. Cut apart the clue cards and shuffle them well to mix up the clues. There are three clues for each leader. You will notice a few blank clue cards at the end. You can use some of your own clues if there are facts you would like to include for a particular leader. The bingo cards consist of two pictures each of twelve different leaders and a free space This allows for the players to not only win by knowing the answers, but also from choosing which one of the pictures of the correct leader to put their marker on. A certain amount of strategy and chance is involved since the player does not know if they will get another clue card for that leader or not. To Play: Each player gets a bingo card and several markers to cover the spaces on their card. The person chosen to be the “caller” shuffles all of the clue cards, being careful to mix them as much as possible. They then put the cards in a stack in front of them. All players put a marker on the free space on their card. The caller draws the top card and reads the information to the players, being careful not to read the name of the leader. The players decide who they think the clues are about and put a marker on one of the spaces with that leader’s picture on it. Remember, there are two pictures of each leader on each card, so the player has to decide which one they want to put the marker on. The caller then tells the players the name of the correct leader. Players who covered the correct leader may leave their marker on their card. Players who did not cover the correct leader must remove their marker from their card. In the event the third clue is drawn for a leader, players who previously got a clue wrong for that leader may use the opportunity to guess correctly and cover a space on the card. All other players forfeit their turn (without revealing the answer to other players). Play continues until someone has bingo.


A Version for Younger Children: If you are using this game with younger children who have not studied all of the facts presented in the game, the caller can read the card and then tell the players the answer while showing them the card. Players cover one of the matching leaders on their card. In this way, the younger children will become familiar with the information about each of the leaders. Another option for younger children is to draw the card, show them the picture on the clue card, and tell them the leader’s name. This way the children will become familiar with the names of the leaders. A Version for Two People (Without a Designated Caller) If there are only two people playing the game, the players can take turns being the caller. The first person to be the caller draws a card from the stack and asks the other player the question. If the player gets the answer correct, they can put a marker on their bingo card. If the player does not get the answer correct, the player asking the question gets to put a marker on their card. For the next turn, the players switch, with the second player asking the question to the first player. By switching who is the caller with each question, both players get an equal opportunity to get correct answers and try to win the game. When one player achieves bingo, be sure each player has had an equal number of turns. If they have, then the player who reached bingo wins. If they have not, allow the other player to take a final turn. If he or she also reaches bingo, the game ends in a tie. Examples of Ways to Win: Cover spaces on the bingo cards in any of the patterns shown below. Or, if you choose, you can make up your own rules for a “winning card.”

You can win by getting all of the spaces on your card covered in a straight line in any row or column across the card.

You can win by getting all of the spaces covered in a diagonal line from corner to corner on the card.
