Connect

  • Ask the children about their favorite games.
  • Talk about how people play games. Be sure to mention that people take turns during games and congratulate the winner.
  • Tell the children that they are going to play bingo. Ask if anyone has ever played before and if they have, ask them to explain the game.
  • As a group, agree on some rules or guidelines everyone should follow as they play.

Construct

  • Preparation: Before this activity, collect all the bricks used in the four printable game cards and place them in an opaque bag or container.
  • Hand out one printable model card to each child.
  • Explain how to play the game:
    • The teacher pulls out one brick from the bag/container.
    • The children look at the brick, then at their individual game cards to determine if there is a match. The child whose card shows the matching brick collects it.
    • Repeat until all the bricks are used up. Remind the children to call out “Bingo” when they have completed their food item.
  • As the children play, encourage them to describe the brick that is chosen.
  • Repeat the game as many times as desired. Consider having one of the children play the role of the teacher, choosing the bricks from the bag/container.

Contemplate

  • Facilitate a discussion about the game.
  • Consider asking questions like:
    • How many bricks make up your food item?
    • How did you know if a brick belonged to your food item?
    • What is difficult about playing a game with others? What is fun?

Continue

  • Tell the children that playing bingo is a bit like solving a puzzle and that they are going to make their own puzzles. Explain that a puzzle is a game a person can play on their own or with others.
  • Ask each child to build their very own, original food creation.
  • Take photos of the models, then print them to make puzzle cards. Alternatively, the children may draw their puzzle cards.
  • Ask the children to solve each other’s puzzles, or even work together on one.

Observing the following skills can help you monitor whether the children are developing the necessary competencies in math.

  • Using mathematical terms, such as positional language and color and shape names
