Who says school has to be boring? Shake things up a bit with these language arts bingo games!
Rhyme Time
Make rhyming fun by creating bingo cards. Draw or print a grid of sixteen to twenty-five boxes, and fill each box with pictures or words which can be easily matched with rhyming words. Next, make cards with words that rhyme with the pictures or words on the cards. Put the cards in a bowl or bag, draw them out one at a time, and read them aloud. Have children put a marker on the word or picture that rhymes. The first child to get four or five in a row wins!
