Original Version
This PowerPoint is a no-frills Bingo resource consisting solely of the numbers 1 to 31, each displayed clearly in a large font. Students pick their own set of 6 numbers (from 1 to 31) and the PPT then “calls” the numbers.

It is deliberately simple.

What it’s good for:
• Number recognition – particularly helpful for younger students or those who benefit from extra fluency practice
• Speed and concentration – students must stay alert as numbers appear quickly and unpredictably
• Calm, purposeful endings – an easy way to keep attention right up to the bell
• Zero cognitive clutter – nothing to decode, explain or interpret

This works well as:
• a 5-minute end-of-lesson activity
• a settling task
• a cover lesson standby
• or a gentle, structured way to finish when time is short

There are no questions, tricks or hidden objectives here — just clear numbers, fast recognition, and sustained focus.

Free to use and adapt. Contains a Macro to shuffle the numbers.
