A new educational proposal of a bingo game that presents to secondary school students (age 12 to 16) the chemical elements of the Periodic Table along with their properties is presented in this paper in an enjoyable way. Unlike other modalities proposed in the literature (Tejada and Palacios 1995; Franco-Mariscal 2006), this new version of educational bingo uses the periodic table itself as bingo cards and a computer application that picks out the balls. This educational game has been checked through some observations made by the teacher in the class and with an test of evaluation that was made before and later of the activity.The results show that students improve the learning of the contents related with the Periodic Table, besides to produce motivation in them.
