Color Bingo

 This week’s plan needs a bit of preparation but it also provides a great way to reinforce the names of colors. You can make your own fruit bingo with white poster board and fruit stickers. Cut 8” squares out of card-stock. Mark off the card with 4 rows across 5 evenly spaced columns. Across the top of the columns, write C-O-L-O-R. Place the stickers in the squares under each letter. Keep track of the combinations. For example: L: red apple, R: Yellow lemon, etc. There are also downloads available online. The children could begin by coloring each fruit the correct color. There are also commercial fruit bingo games. Check out this week’s free lesson plan for other ideas on how help your children make a shape book.
