Lesson plan
Display the Presentation: Circuit symbol bingo and hand out whiteboards and pens (one each). Ask the children to draw a two-by-three grid with a circuit symbol in each box. They will need to choose one to leave out of their grid.
Call out the names of the components and allow the children to cross out the corresponding symbol if it appears in their grid. When a child crosses out three in a row or a full house, they should shout, "Bingo!".
