Ocean Bingo (Magma for Laurence King)

Product Information

We play BINGO a lot in our house and we love to circle in this one and add it to our list. The kids really like to see the different types of animals that are living in the ocean. Educational games are not only fun for kids, but allow them to practice important skills. From communication and making observations, to following directions. Playing Bingo is one of our favorite games. Everyone can play and it’s easy to set up! Grab the free printable bingo cards at the bottom of the post.

Use candy or non-candy items as markers. When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image. There are a few different patterns players can make on their cards to get bingo. Straight in a line up or down, and even diagonal across the card. You can use bingo daubers to mark the spots you get or you can use buttons, beans or even shells would be a fun option. You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won. Your class will have lots of fun with this ocean bingo set. You’ll find all sorts of sea creatures on these cards including dolphins, squids, whales, pufferfish and more! There are so many fun ways to use both the bingo set and the lotto set.

Whereas to see whales, octopus, and sea turtles you have to go into the ocean.
