How to Play

  • 1. Give each student a bingo board and counters (buttons, beans, or scrap paper).
  • 2. Shuffle the calling cards; draw one and say the animal's name aloud.

  • 4. The first student to cover 3 in a row (across, down, or diagonal) calls "Bingo!"

Teacher Tips

separate answer key is needed — the calling cards serve as the game reference.
