Ways to play
Letter X
Mark both diagonals for a win, a good medium-length round.
Speed round
Use 3x3 cards and call quickly. Rounds last about a minute and keep energy high.
Clue calling
Read a definition, problem or clue instead of the answer, so students work for every square.
Blackout finale
End with a coverall round where every square must be marked. It's the longest round, so give it the best prize.

Printing and setup
Print a class set on cardstock and store it in sheet protectors so you can reuse it with dry-erase markers all year. Use the 'Print cards + calling list' button so you have a checklist to track calls.
