What is LMNTO?
LMNTO is BINGO, with a chemisty twist.

It's played just link Bingo, except we use elements from the periodic table instead of numbers. This is meant to be an educational game that can help students (or anyone) become more familiar with the elements on the periodic table.

This site will allow you to generate LMNTO cards for your players, and also provide an customizable element picker. This picker allows you to choose which details are shown. (Element number, abriviation, name, or any combination thereof.)

Due to the nature of how BINGO and the Periodic Table work, we simply divide the elements into groups of roughly the same size and assign each group to one of the letters L, M, N, T, and O.
