Abstract

This article describes an in-class, noncomputerized, bingo game to accompany coverage of the topic of organizational structure. The game allows students to be actively involved in learning, solidify recognition and understanding of organizational structure terminology, apply understanding of organizational structure to an analysis of organizational charts to locate people and their titles, utilize critical thinking skills to recognize advantages and disadvantages of a variety of organizational structures, and develop interactive communication skills.
