PLAYING SUMMER ALPHABET BINGO
Have the kids cover up their free spot (sun) in the middle of the board.
Call out a letter. Each child should place a marker on the letter that is called. Get five in a row or column and call, “SUMMER FUN” to win.
If the kids are ready to work on sounds, you can call a sound and then have the kids cover the letter that represents that sound.
