Bingo is popularly known as a game of luck and chance all over the world, but it is a game that has educational value as well. Parents looking for some educational and fun-filled games for their kids can very well opt for bingo. The game meant for kids has nothing to do with gambling and bets. It is a fun way to encourage them to learn many things, such as, numbers, letters, blends and words. Your child will learn the letters of the alphabet in a fun-filled manner without even knowing that he/she is learning something.
Here are some Bingo cards that I quickly made up to show how easy it is and how you can use them.
Alphabet and Blends
- use random letters and say them aloud without showing your child.- use scrabble letters and match the capital letters to the lower case letters.
- use pictures, say the word, hear the first sound and find the letter.
High Frequency Words
- draw out random words, say them and your child can find them without looking at the word.- you can also do this with rhyming words.
Numbers
- you can do numbers 1 - 10, 1- 20, 1-50 etc.
- match words to numbers.
- match dots to numbers.
- draw out random numbers, say it and your child can find it without looking at the number.
