Book Care BINGO

I like to play Book Care BINGO with my Kindergarten classes after we learn the Book Care Rules. I have found that pairing them up on a card works best because many of them have never played Bingo before. In this set, you will find Calling Cards to cut out and use and 16 different Bingo cards. You will need to cut some squares out of construction paper to use as Bingo chips. We have a lot of fun with this game and stickers are a perfect prize for the winning pairs.
