A choice board and a bingo card may look similar, but they serve difference purposes.
Students use a bingo card somewhat receptively. They are given a Bingo card, listen to some prompts (e.g. words read aloud by the teacher), and circle what they hear on the Bingo card.
But a choice board contains mainly tasks and activities for students to perform. They choose a row of cards on the choice board, and proceed to the corresponding tasks.

Depending on one's objective and creativity, the tasks:
- can be of different cognitive demands (e.g, Bloom's taxonomy - compare; analyse ..)
- may allow students to present their findings in different modes (e.g., a written text; a photo album, ...)
- may involve different elements (e.g., structure; vocabulary; theme) of a broader topic (e.g., a short story).
As such, many writers have asserted that choice boards are good for differentiated instruction.
