The 'bigger' kids were testing in the computer lab so we did not get our computer time. In place of computer class, we decided to play Shapes & Colors Bingo. Some kids had not played Bingo before so it took multiple times to explain how to play. The kids voiced their disappointments when none of their shapes and colors were called. I kept them in suspense by saying the shape first and then the color (you hear gasps and then some "yay's" and some "awww"). Calling it out in reverse works, too. I did this because when I said the shape and color in one sentence, many of the kids could not see that item on their board when in fact they had that particular shape and color. As we play this game more, I'm sure they'll get faster at it...!!!
Ethan and Kiera got "Bingo" during this round. :) For prizes, they each picked something out of the class Treasure Box. Mrs. Frohlich is the only teacher I've met with a treasure box filled with prizes...pretty cool idea. :)
