Need fun learning ideas for the end of the school year?  Or, do you want to extend learning over the summer?   If so, then you need this alphabet game!  Summer Alphabet Bingo is a fun way to practice letter recognition and sounds with a seasonal flair.

End the school year with a fun activity that also builds alphabet recognition. Or, play alphabet bingo during summer school, summer camp, or with the kids during summer vacation.

GETTING READY TO PLAY SUMMER ALPHABET BINGO

Full Disclosure:  This post contains affiliate links.

Materials Needed:  alphabet bingo sheets (free printable below) and counters (candies, buttons, crackers, etc.)

Just print out the bingo sheets.  I’ve included 8 FREE printable bingo boards that are in color.  If you prefer a set of 20 in color and 20 in  black and white, you can visit my store and download both full sets for $1.50.  Each board is different in the sets.  You could laminate the boards if you want to use them for years to come.

Give each child a handful of counters.  We used cheese crackers.   You could also use counting cubes, candy or buttons.

PLAYING SUMMER ALPHABET BINGO

End the school year with a fun activity that also builds alphabet recognition. Or, play alphabet bingo during summer school, summer camp, or with the kids during summer vacation.

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.
