Game Play:
- Spinning the Wheel: The bingo clue reader spins the wheel to select a number (1-24) and announces the number spun.

- Selecting the Square:
- Players locate the announced number on their bingo board.
- If the clue describes a renewable resource, players will select the square with the announced number and change it to the color/pattern corresponding to renewable resources.
- If the clue describes a nonrenewable resource, players will select the square with the announced number and change it to the color/pattern corresponding to nonrenewable resources.
- Marking the Bingo Board:
- Continue the steps above for each spin and clue until a player completes a row, column, or diagonal with the correct color/pattern.
Example:
- If the clue reader spins the number 15 and the clue is “sunlight,” players will select square 15 and change it to the color/pattern for renewable resources.
- If the clue reader spins the number 10 and the clue is “coal,” players will select square 10 and change it to the color/pattern for nonrenewable resources.
Winning the Game:
- The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal with the correct color/pattern corresponding to the resource categories shouts “Bingo!” and is declared the winner.
- Remember, the center space is a free space that can be changed to either color/pattern to help complete a row, column, or diagonal.
