Community Helpers or Career BINGO

(0)
**Community Helpers or Career BINGO is a great addition to your Community Unit! ** I like to play with my Kindergarten and 1st Grade after we do our Community Unit. I have found that pairing Kindergarteners up on a card works best because many of them have never played BINGO before. My 1st graders are good to go with their own card. It even makes a Great Center once you’ve taught them how to play. The students love being the caller and handing out the prize to the winner! In this set, you will find 48 different Career Calling Cards to cut out and 32 different BINGO cards. You will need to cut some squares out of construction paper to use as BINGO chips ahead of time, if you don’t have something like that already. We have a lot of fun reviewing Community Helpers with this game and stickers are a perfect prize for the winners!

My 1st graders are good to go with their own card and if I have more than 25 students, some will eagerly want to share a card with a friend. It even makes a Great Center once you’ve taught them how to play. The students love being the caller and handing out the prize to the winner! In this set, you will find Calling Cards to cut out and use and 25 different Bingo cards. You will need to cut some squares out of construction paper to use as Bingo chips ahead of time, if you don’t have something like that already. We have a lot of fun reviewing basic school words with this game and stickers are a perfect prize for the winning pairs!
