Moving on to the tutorial, this video shows the basics of the game... with of course a bit of action with best buddies, Yugi and Joey. Will Joey beat the duel computer... will the both of them make out of the duel? Find out by watching the whole interactive demo. This video was screencorded from the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG USA website. However, the demo due to some gameplay changes has been deleted from the website. That's why I've uploaded it off YouTube.

How To Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game - Interactive Demo (part 1)

Although a very popular game, bingo is also a very simple to play. Because of this, most people know the rules and the game mechanics, either because they've learnt by watching others play, or because they have played the game themselves. But, what you may not know is that variants of the game of bingo have been introduced into their classrooms by many teachers.

The best known versions of classroom bingo are perhaps those used for teaching English (particularly reading), or foreign languages. These versions of bingo are played using bingo cards which are printed with words, phrases, or in some cases, letters.  As in a standard game of bingo, the players (in this case students) must mark squares off their cards in response to the bingo caller's calls (the teacher plays the part of bingo caller). In standard games of bingo, squares are marked off if they simply match the caller's number, but, in educational versions of the game, different criteria are used, such as:

* The square must contain the letter that the teacher's word begins with ("phonemic awareness bingo")

* The square must contain the sight word that the teacher calls out ("sight word bingo")

* The square must contain a word matching the definition the teacher gives ("vocabulary bingo")

* The square must contain the French, German or Spanish equivalent of an English word read out by the teacher ("language bingo").

Although teaching reading and languages are perhaps the best known versions of classroom bingo, versions of the bingo can also used in teaching many other subjects as well, including math.

Some math versions of bingo include:

* Bingo can be used for the teaching of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In this case, the cards are printed either with numbers, or with appropriate math problems chosen by the teacher. If using numbered cards, the teacher gives a problem (example: "what is 5 times 7?") and the students must find the matching number square. If using cards with math problems, the teacher gives the problem, students must see if it's on their cards, and if it is, write in the correct answer to that square.

* Decimals and fractions can also be practised in a similar manner. Bingo cards containing numbers (decimals and/or fractions) chosen by the teacher are used. Students must find matching squares in response to the teacher's bingo calls. The bingo calls can be as easy (for example: finding "0.4" in response to a bingo call of "four tenths") or hard (for example: finding "1.5" in response to a bingo call of "six quarters") as the teacher likes.

* Similarly rounding problems can also be practised in this way. Students might for example have to find "20" when asked to "round 17 to the nearest multiple of ten", or find "13" if asked to round "13.4 to the nearest whole number".

The common thing that most educational versions of bingo require is of course bingo cards printed with items chosen by the teacher. This might sound daunting, and would be if you had to prepare them by hand, but fortunately there is some good news here. With the help of your computer and some bingo card maker software, it's easy to prepare bingo cards containing exactly the items you want with just a few minutes work.
