Abstract
The use of games in the chemistry classroom can provide instruction, feedback, practice, and fun. A modification of a BINGO game to chemical nomenclature and a specific application to alkanes are described. Tips on preparation of materials, and suggested variations including inorganic nomenclature are presented.
Supplement
A set of 24 bingo cards and 18 structures representing the alkane BINGO materials are available in this issue of JCE Online.
