Materials required:
Bingo cards, shape choices to draw from a hat/container, markers for the bingo cards (pennies, beans, a crayon or marker)
Suggestions for use:
This may be done as a class or small group activity.
Click here or click the red 'New Bingo Cards' button at the top to generate cards which can be printed (page 2) and cut out. On page 3 are labeled shapes which can be cut and folded so that the shape is hidden from view, and placed in a hat or container to be drawn during the game.
Discuss the basic two-dimensional shapes included in this game: squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, and hexagons. Describe the unique properties of each shape and establish that each shape stays the same regardless of its size, color, or orientation.It is also important to note that squares are rectangles with equal sides, so technically, if a rectangle is called, a square would qualify as correct.
Give every child a bingo card. Explain the idea of a Bingo game for those children who don't know it. Make sure that the children understand what constitutes a win. Point out what a full row, column or diagonal might look like.
Draw a shape from the hat, call it out, and show it to the group by either holding up the paper or drawing a larger version on the board. The children should mark every square on their bingo card that matches the shape pulled from the hat. Instruct the children to call out 'Bingo' as soon as they have a full row, column or diagonal complete with markings.

Free Color and Shape Bingo for Preschoolers
This fun Bingo game is sure to be a hit with young learners!
This fun take on Bingo was very popular with the students at Magic Carousel Preschool in Hawthorne, New Jersey, and now you can do it with your class too!
About the Game
Each Sheet has four shapes--a square, circle, rectangle, and triangle.
Each sheet also features four colors--red, blue, yellow, and green.
These colors and shapes are randomized much like a regular Bingo board!
How to Play Bingo
The game has the teacher showing or saying aloud each calling card. Students then put a chip or marker on the correct/matching space on their board. The first student who gets 4 in a row (or in a, 'Backout,' version covers his or her board) is the winner! The calling cards can be used to learn about shapes or colors individually or for older and more advanced students combinations can be used--e.g. calling-out, 'Red Circle.'
