Bingo Game
Materials:
White oak tag or hard cardboard
Colored poster board
Paper cutter
Black marker
Ruler
Sticker with springtime pictures
What to do:
• Cut the oak tag(very heavy cardboard) into eight 8” x 8” squares to be used as the bingo boards
• Using the ruler and black marker make a square grid on the front of each bingo board so that you have sixteen 2” x 2” spaces
• Cut out 48 2” x 2” squares from the oak tag (very heavy cardboard)
• Put a springtime image sticker on each of the 2” oak tag squares. Be sure to put the same sticker on each of the eight bingo boards, each one in a different location.
• Continue this process with each sticker until all the boards are covered randomly.
• Cut ¾” squares out of colored poster board – these will be used as the markers (you can also decide to just use dried beans and give each child a handful of beans in a small bowl when it is time to play.
• Shake up the picture tiles in a blasting bag. Pick out one and show it to the children.
• If a player has it, they get to put a bean or ¾” square piece on that picture.
• Whenever a child gets a full row, they call out “bingo”.
