This Black History Bingo activity is designed to be more than a game; it’s an entry point into meaningful learning, conversation, and curiosity.
Instead of pre-filled cards, students create their own bingo boards using a curated list of people, terms, and cultural references. This turns the setup into part of the learning, helping students become familiar with the content before gameplay even begins.
The result?
High engagement and real exposure to Black history and culture.
✔ Students interact with the content before playing
✔ Encourages curiosity and follow-up research
✔ Balances fun with intentional learning
✔ Works as a whole-class or small-group activity
This is an ideal activity for:
Black History Month
Community-building
When you want learning to feel joyful, not forced
Bingo card templates (color & black/white)
Bingo markers
77 curated terms (people, events, media, cultural references)
Caller card deck (77 terms total)
Teacher-friendly setup directions
As a class-wide game
As a low-prep, high-engagement lesson
Paired with discussion or reflection
This resource also pairs perfectly with the February Classroom Experience Bundle & it’s inside!
