Materials
- Free camping bingo game
- Bingo chips (or math counters)
The Set-Up
Simply print, cut, and laminate.
Give each preschooler a game card and a small bowl of counters and then invite them to join you in a game of camping bingo!
If you want to be a super fun teacher, you can offer them mini marshmallows to use as counters!
How to Play Bingo with Preschoolers
This game is played like all other bingo games.
A facilitator draws a card and calls out the picture for the children to find on their cards. If they have the matching picture on their cards, they use a math counter to cover it up. The first player to get five in a row wins the game!
Or, you can go all in and play the game until the entire playing card is covered!
One of the reasons I like bingo and blackout games is because they can help develop vocabulary and oral language skills. You can challenge your preschoolers by asking them to first name the picture or beginning sound on the calling card before you name it.
Preschool Camping Activities
You know I adore a printable that can be used in more than one way. Here are some other ideas for using this printable.
- Make two copies of the calling cards and play a memory game.
- Invite younger preschoolers to describe the pictures they see on their game cards. Have them talk what they see and share their experiences.
- Use the cards as inspiration to tell and make up stories about camping. As the teacher or parent, you can write down the children’s stories to demonstrate awareness.
- Challenge the preschoolers to find the differences between two cards. Compare two cards to see what pictures are the same and which pictures are missing.
- Make two copies of each game card. Cut the rows from the second game cards and invite preschoolers to match the cut rows from the second card to the complete game cards.
