Weather Bingo Cards

How to play weather bingo

1. Give each player a card and something to mark squares with.
2. The caller reads words from the caller's list in any order, ticking each one off.
3. Players mark a word when it's called. The middle square is free.
4. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!" and the caller checks the card.

Before you call a word, give a clue or a fact about it and let players guess. It turns a game of luck into a quick review.

Good to know

• To estimate how far away lightning is, count the seconds between the flash and the thunder and divide by five to get the distance in miles.
• A bolt of lightning can heat the air around it to about five times hotter than the surface of the Sun.
• Cirrus clouds are thin and wispy and form high in the sky, while cumulus clouds are puffy and usually mean fair weather.
