Shape Bingo Boards To Print
Give every child a bingo card. Explain the idea of a Bingo game for those children who don't know it. Make sure that the children understand what constitutes a win. Point out what a full row, column or diagonal might look like.
Draw a shape from the hat, call it out, and show it to the group by either holding up the paper or drawing a larger version on the board. The children should mark every square on their bingo card that matches the shape pulled from the hat. Instruct the children to call out 'Bingo' as soon as they have a full row, column or diagonal complete with markings.
