Valentine Bingo and a Freebie

Kindergarten students love playing Bingo!  Is is such a fun game to play with students and is a great way to reinforce listening skills and following directions and loved by everyone!

I love playing it whole group as a reward for students, Fun Friday, for a holiday party, or just for a little break.  This is also a great vocabulary activity for ELL's for reinforce new themed words.

A fun thing to do is a phonics/ phonemic awareness twist on it and use it during literacy instruction. Instead of saying the word, you can give students clues and have them guess the word.

Possible clues includes

•It begins with (letter name or letter sound)

•It has ____ syllables

•It rhymes with ______

•It ends with _____

•Segment the word

•The word is a noun/verb (I have included several verbs in each set)

The possibilities are endless and it becomes so open ended for your students.  You can give clues or select a student to give clues for the pictures.

These games are low prep since all you have to do is print and go, or if you choose to laminate, you have have them available for years to come.  

What's Included? 

I have created this Valentine's Day Bingo set that is perfect for your classroom.  Each set has 30 unique cards in color as well as the calling cards, so they can be used whole group or small group.  

30 Bingo cards in black and white are also included with black and white calling cards, 

as well as a fun "create your own board" version

These are fun to print on Astrobright paper (affiliate link), gives students choice and cutting practice.  I like to print two sheet to a page for a bit of a smaller version when using these.

I would definitely have students use glue sticks to secure their pictures.  Students can select the pictures that they wish to have on their card bingo board and glue to create their individual bingo cards.

They will not use all pictures on their board but it is fun for them to create. I have included the Valentine's Day create your own version as a freebie at the end of this blog post.  

You can pair this Bingo game with some cute themed Valentine's Day Mini Erasers that you can find on Amazon (affiliate link) to use as the markers.  

You can find the Year Long Holidays and Seasons Bingo by clicking the link or the picture below.

This game is fun for students all year and you can easily swap it out.  Included are a variety of seasons and holiday and these work great for holiday parties or works great as an incentive for good behavior!
