Rainforest BINGO Game

Learn to identify rainforest animals while playing a fun game of BINGO! 

Making custom BINGO games is a fun activity for kids and can help them learn amazing things. Instructions are simple and they’re fun to make too!

Making the BINGO cards: 

• 1. First make a list of each animal/rainforest feature you want to use. Some ideas are listed below. You will need 24 total.
  2. Next create a BINGO card grid, which is 5 x 5, with a FREE space int he middle. Make the squares big enough to draw a small picture in.
  3. Now, either draw or find an image of the items you chose! Create one square per item. Now cut these out into individual cards. These will be your draw cards.
     
  4. Now, make the actual BINGO sheets! Label the top of the columns BINGO and label the rows 1-5. Fill in each of the squares with a mix of the items you have chosen. Make on BINGO sheet per player, each slightly different, mixing up the pictures so they are in different spots.
      

Use items from around the house to mark each drawn item on the BINGO sheet. You can use Cheerios, raisins, or candies for markers. As the cards are announced, players will place a marker on the picture called. Whichever player completes a line across, down, or diagonally calls BINGO and wins that round!  What kinds of prizes will you win?!
