Skills to Practice
- Communication
- Counting
- Fine Motor Skills
- Foundational Math Skills
- 2D Geometric Shapes
- Name of Common Shapes
Children can count the number of sides, trace the outline of the shapes using their fingers, and even compare the different shapes.
Each card has basic shapes in black and white. This allows your child to focus on the outline of the shape and not just the color.
15 different shapes in total for your child to identify while they play this printable math game. As they play the common name of the shapes along with how the shape looks is reinforced!
How to Play
- Pass out one bingo card and bingo markers per player
- Shuffle the calling cards
- Decide on the winning bingo pattern
- At random select a calling card and stay the name of the shape
- If a player has that shape on their board, they mark it off
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until a player has the winning bingo pattern
Winning Patterns Include: 3 in a row horizontally across the board, 3 in the same column, diagonally across, around the perimeter, black out, or even an X shape.
