My grandmother collected buttons from old shirts throughout the years and gave me her collection. Each time a student says a word on a bingo page, he/she gets to cover it up with a cool looking button. I had to make a rule that they couldn't make a pile for themselves, but had to share.
This game is one that just came to me one day. If you've ever played tiddlywinks before, this is just like it. You take one bingo chip and flick the other into the container. I have found that using foam pads really helps, just using the table sends the chips all over the room. My students love this game!
