Ask students to place their domino or wooden peg on the table with the dots facing them. Using a set of 0 to 12 numbered rocks, explain to students that they will be playing a game of bingo. Model the bingo game explaining that when a 0 to 12 numbered rock is called, the students will need to find the corresponding domino or peg with that number of dots. Students turn the domino or wooden peg over if they find the match.
