Game: Touch Count Bingo
Grade Level: Preschool - Kindergarten
Objective: The objective of this game is to reinforce students' ability to count objects up to 5 using the touch count method and to identify the numbers 1-5.
Materials:
Touch Count Bingo game cards (pre-made or homemade)
Small objects (such as beads or buttons) for marking squares
Container to hold the small objects
Whiteboard and markers for displaying numbers
Instructions:
Explain to the students that they will be playing Touch Count Bingo to practice counting objects up to 5 using the touch count method.
Distribute the Touch Count Bingo game cards to each student.
Show the students how to mark their squares using the small objects and explain that they should use the touch count method to count each set of objects on the bingo card.
Display a number on the whiteboard and have the students touch count objects to match the number.
Call out a number between 1-5 and have the students count out that many objects using the touch count method.
If a student has the corresponding number on their bingo card, they should mark the square with a small object.
Continue calling out numbers and having students count objects until a student gets a line of 5 squares marked (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and calls out "Bingo!".
Once a student calls out "Bingo!", have them read out the numbers on their card to confirm that they have a line of 5 squares marked.
Repeat the game as many times as desired, allowing different students to call out numbers and lead the game.
Variations:
Use larger numbers and objects to challenge more advanced students.
Play the game in teams to encourage collaboration and teamwork.
Allow students to create their own bingo cards to personalize the game and practice identifying numbers.
Add additional rules or challenges, such as requiring students to count out sets of objects that add up to a specific number.
