After our adventures on Monday and the wonderfully fun chaos of Tuesday, we woke slightly sun burned to a dreary, rainy day. After deciding to stay in our p.j.'s and do nothing for a while, I figured I could fit in a little school time in the form of a game. Enter....U.S.A. Bingo.
I have a 3rd grader and a 7th grader and they both love it! My 3rd grader is just learning all of the states and their locations so this is such a fun tool. My 7th grader gets to master his knowledge and I make him name the capital or a fun fact as he yells off a "bingo". This bingo version brings color and fun to a rainy day.
I love incorporating games like this to help secure and build knowledge in a fun way. Sometimes I'm surprised how much more they learn and retain through these paths.
We paid around $14 for our version shipped from Amazon. I've also seen them used or you could use your next rainy day to make your own version with old cereal boxes :)
