It is no secret that bingo and education go well together. For years teachers have used educational forms of bingo to focus the attention of students and reinforce curriculum. Bear Bingo is an educational game covering nine different early education themes:
Counting: Counting objects to find totals from 2 to 10.
1,2,3s: Finding the next number in a series of numbers (up to number 20).
Addition: Adding numbers 1 through 11 to find totals from 2 - 12.
Subtraction: Subtracting numbers 1 through 6 from numbers 2 - 12.
A,B,Cs: Finding the next letter in a series of letters.
Letters: Finding the first letter of words beginning with A and ending with Z.
Money: Finding the total of U.S. coins up to $1.00.
Time: Identifying the correct time on an analog clock.
Color: Identifying basic colors.
Bear bingo is best suited for students with fundamental skill sets and shorter attention spans. With 16 different ways to get a bingo and randomly selected tiles, children will not be able to guess what tile comes next!
