Educational Learning Games

Using games to teach children can be very effective.  I created a Bingo game with site words that my son had inKindergarten.  Site words help kids start to read sentances easier as they are commonly used words like this and is.  It’s slightly different then a traditional Bingo game but has the same basic concept.

Supplies:

  • change-to use for markers on Bingo cards
  • Bingo cards and site words located here

Steps:

  1. Print out Site Words Bingo on cardstock
  2. Cut out Bingo cards (they are 3×3-3 words wide and 3 words down)
  3. Cut up all the site words (located on the top)
  4. Give every player a card
  5. Put all site words in a pile
  6. Pick first site word, have one of the players help you read it (rotate so they all get a turn)
  7. Then they should each look at their card to see if they have it
  8. If they have, have them put a coin on the word
  9. Continue picking site words until someone has 3 in a row and has BINGO

Have fun!
