Shape Bingo

As your child is learning to recognize various shapes, challenge her to find them in her world around her.  Here is an easy to make game that your child will enjoy at home or in the car.

Create a set of Bingo cards using the generator available at http://www.mathworksheetwizard.com/kindergarten/shapes.html.  Each time you click on “Make Worksheet”, the program will create a new Bingo card with the shapes in a different place.  Be sure to select the 5 x5 grid version.  (You can also choose whether you want your shapes in black and white, color, in cartoon shapes, or using everyday objects.   The plain, black and white shapes work best for this game.)

To play, have your child (or the youngest player) search the room for objects that are shaped like those on the card.  The hearts and stars are a bit challenging so let her be creative with these shapes.  When a shape is found, all players confirm the shape and then color it in on their card.  The player to get five in a row first wins.  (You can also play a cover-all version where players must cover their entire card before they win.)

This makes a great game to play in the car with siblings or even parents.  Simply print out a supply of cards and store them in the glove-box with a box of crayons.  You are now ready for Bingo fun anytime your kids are bored in the car!
