Addition Combinations Bingo Make a Bingo board with the numbers 1–20 in a 4-by-5 grid. Turn over the top two cards from a deck of cards (ace to 10). Players cover the sum if it is on their board (e.g., cover 12 if 7 and 5 are turned over). Continue turning over cards and covering the sums until one player fills a complete row. That player says, “Bingo!”
