BINGO! (been-goh) Materials needed: Bingo card, pennies (or any item to cover boxes), coffee can or shoe box, scraps of paper or index cards.

To review any list of vocabulary - colors, numbers, animals, anything - print out a Bingo card. (Right click and select save the image so you can use it again and again, or just print)   

   

COLOR BINGO: Fill in each box with colors (your three year old can easily scribble a color in each box and say the Spanish color three times as he does so). Toss the crayons you used into a shoe box or coffee can and take turns pulling them out to mark the correct spot -

(Our 2 1/2 year old likes to mark an X on the box rather than cover it with pennies - he can only sit for one game at a time,anyway - But our 4 year old likes using tiddly-winks to cover the boxes so he can use his game card over and over)

ANYTHING ELSE BINGO:If your child can draw, have him draw pictures of items from his vocabulary list. Otherwise, use clipart or stickers (Farm Animal Stickers are coming in the Flip Flop Shop!), or draw stick figures yourself as you say the words together three times while you draw.

Next, write the words on scraps of paper and toss them in the coffee can or shoe box - you can read the words as you put them in one at a time as well for another round of review.

Be sure to play with him so the competitive edge drives them to succeed and remember - you can't win unless you can name your winning row in Spanish!
