Printable Back to School Bingo Cards

The first few days of back to school time are full of learning routines and learning about each other, especially for younger learners. There’s lots of time for games and fun activities as you ease into the year, and this printable back to school bingo game from Preschool Play and Learn is a fun, low-prep option when you need to fill a little time.

The cards have school supplies and school related symbols on them, and they are all pictures so kiddos don’t need to know how to read or recognize numbers yet to play it. All you need is a printer and some bingo markers to get started.

The draw cards that tell people which picture to cover include a picture and the word to describe it, so if tables are playing on their own with a kid caller this can help them learn to recognize those words.

Summer Reading Printables and Tips for Parents

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
