How To Play
Before playing the game must be prepared. Print a copy of the template that will cut-up into little individual cards. Then the other template will be large cards that have random orders of the fruits, veggies, and nuts that students will use for the Bingo game. The teacher will put their cards aside in a random order and the students will take their large Bingo cards - 2 to 10 kids can play the game. Also, something needs to be used as, “Chips”, to put on the bingo board, and it can be anything from pieces of scrap paper to little pieces of candy the kids are allowed to eat in between games as a treat. One everything is ready, the game will begin.
The teacher will show a random card and then call-out what the fruit, veggie, or nut is - they also can ask students to help say what it is too! As these cards are drawn the kids can place there, “Chip”, on their bingo board anytime one of their fruits, veggies, or nuts are called. This will help the preschool and kindergarten students to learn the names of various foods while also working hard to pay close attention to the game. Once a student has all the fields filled-up on their bingo board (AKA a, “Blackout”) they win and can yell, “Bingo!”
