Let's Play BINGO!

In an effort to celebrate Literacy Week (January 22 - 26, 2024) and raise awareness about the importance of reading and to inspire your child and families to make reading part of their daily routines, we challenge you to a game of BINGO.

 

How to Play

  • Get a BINGO card from school.
  • All activity MUST be completed with your child.
  • Mark each square as you complete an activity.
  • Each square represents a separate book; however, if you choose to read a chapter book with more than 4 chapters, it can represent two squares as long as it fits the activity. Please note, the entire book would still need to be read and a summary written on the back of the BINGO card.
  • The table in the back of the BINGO card MUST be filled in for each square completed. Feel free to take pictures or videos and send to the school's mobile phone number or you can tag us on Instagram or Facebook, @homeprechl
  • All cards, regardless of achieving BINGO, should be returned no later than Wednesday, January 31, 2024 for the chance to win prizes. 
  • You'll get one entry for every BINGO you achieve on your card, with a maximum of 4 entries. Each square can only be counted once. (See below acceptable BINGO patterns).
  • If you achieve a coverall, Christmas tree or Christmas wreath BINGO, you will receive 5 entries. (See below acceptable BINGO patterns).
  • You are allowed to fill out more than one card.
  • Raffle will be drawn on Friday, February 2, 2024. Three winners will be announced via WhatsApp messaging.

Resources

At H.O.M.E Preschool, we are BIG advocates of early childhood education and we do believe one of the biggest impact to a child's lifelong journey is family involvement, and a great way to start is reading together. Young children are more likely to have above average vocabulary attainment if they look at or read both printed stories and stories on a touch screen. In an effort to encourage reading within your family, we have compiled a few resources to find good old fashioned paper books, free online books, audible books and apps for reading.
