Number BINGO

This week the children were introduced to and played their very first BINGO game.  It was Number BINGO  It is hard to describe the excitement of a BINGO game in the Ganon classroom.  The pure excitement and enthusiasm for BINGO is like no other activity.  The most rewarding part, for me as the teacher, is that children that have little interest or struggle with number identification were suddenly completely engaged.  As I called each number, I also wrote the number on the dry erase board.  When a child yelled out 'bingo', the rest of the class clapped and cheered for the winner. We ended our BINGO time with several winners and the children begging to play BINGO again soon.  In the next few months, the children will be introduced to Letter and Rhyming Bingo.
