About this worksheet
A find-someone-who bingo card for the first days of upper elementary: 24 squares such as speaks more than one language, was born in another state, plays an instrument, is left-handed or can whistle a song, plus a free square for your own name. Students walk around, ask questions and collect a different classmate's signature in each square until they get five in a row. Black and white with outlined BINGO letters, easy to copy for the class. It suits fourth grade, ages 9 to 10: more writing and thinking than coloring, and it fits in the first week of school.
Tips for using it
- Model it first: fill in a copy about yourself on the board or under the document camera, then hand out the sheets.
- For pre-K and kindergarten, read each prompt aloud and let children answer with a drawing; write their words under the drawing for them if they ask.
- Date every page and file it. A September page next to a June page shows growth in drawing and handwriting better than any report card.
- Print the pennant and the poster on card stock so they survive a few weeks on the wall.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
