Fruit Bingo

=Fruit Bingo (or just plain ol’ elementary version of bingo) = Make a 3x3 sheet of paper; have at least 9 fruits (items) to fill the boxes. Create 30 bingo cards (ALL unique) for the possibility of 30 students. In my fruit lessons, I usually include a tomato flashcard at the end of the fruit cards as a joke (the kids get a laugh out of it wondering if it’s really a fruit or not). You can use the tomato as a “free space” spot in the middle. If you plan on using the cards again for a later class, I suggest making temporary markers for the students (e.g. strips of paper, beads, etc.)



How to play:

1)        Hand out bingo cards.

2)        Put all “fruits” in a jar/hat/basket.

3) <span style="font-size:9px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">       <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Pull out a “fruit” and call it out.

But for this to work, you must have at least taught a different subject before other than fruit (e.g. numbers, alphabet, emotions, etc.)
