Genetic Traits Bingo Activity - Hooked on Genetics | Printable & Google Slides

Updated to Include a Distance Learning Option: Along with a set of 10 printable BINGO cards, I have also included 10 Google Slides BINGO cards that are perfect for distance learning or a paperless classroom. ✿ Click on the PREVIEW for a closer look at this product.

This genetics activity is a sure-fire way to get students hooked on genetics! I love using this at the beginning of my genetics unit because it gets students interested and invested in learning about genetic traits and what causes them. Students first examine their own genetic traits before diving into the unit.

REPRESENTATION AND INCLUSION

Each trait is represented by a photo. I have updated all the images used in this resource to represent different ethnicities in an attempt to increase representation in my teaching resources.

A Fun Way to Play Genetics Bingo: As you call out each trait, the students have to identify if they have it or not. If they have the trait and they have it on their bingo card, then they get to cross it off. Students really enjoy this activity as they get to stick out their tongues (and roll them or not), pull on their ears (and figure out if they are attached or detached) and sweep up those bangs (to see if they have a widow's peak or not). This activity will make it a fun day for both students and teacher. If this is used for distance learning, then the Google Slide Cards can be used with Google Meets or Zoom.
