2 complete Ancient River Valley Civilization Bingo games
30 unique Bingo boards for Game 1
30 unique Bingo boards for Game 2: Challenge Bingo
60 Bingo boards total
Calling cards with questions and answers for both games

🎯 How It Works in the Classroom
Give each student a Bingo board and use the included calling cards to lead the game.
Instead of simply calling out the vocabulary term, read the question or clue. Students determine the correct answer and then locate that term on their Bingo board.
This makes Bingo an active Early River Valley Civilizations review activity rather than just a matching game.
Use these games for:
Whole-class review
Unit review
Test or quiz preparation
Social Studies stations
Small-group practice
Early finishers
Sub plans
End-of-unit activities
A fun review before an assessment
Use Game 1 to reinforce foundational terms and concepts. Save Game 2: Challenge Bingo for additional practice, differentiation, or a more challenging second round.
