Bugs Bingo
Note to Families
When you play this game with your child, be sure to watch (and ask about) how they count the bugs. Encourage them to try different ways—counting by 1s or by 2s, seeing the line of 5 and counting on (5…6, 7, 8), seeing 5 in one row and 3 in the next and adding them, and so on.
Materials
- Bugs Bingo
- scissors
- game markers (such as pennies, cereal pieces, dry beans, small pieces of paper)
- envelope (to store game cards)
Instructions
1. Cut around the nine ten-frame bug cards on page 2 and store them in an envelope.
2. Cut apart the bingo boards on page 3 so you have two.
3. Each player gets one bingo board and a handful of game markers.
4. Take turns picking a bug card.
- How many bugs are on the card?
- How did you count them?
- Is there another way to count them?
- CHALLENGE How many more to make 10?
5. Cover that number on your bingo board.
6. The first player to get three markers in a row in any direction wins the game.
