Dolch Primer Sight Word BINGO - 30+ Bingo Cards, Flashcards & Word Lists
ELA, Language Development, Vocabulary, Kindergarten, Preschool, Flashcards, Worksheets & Printables

This is a bingo game that practices all the Primer high-frequency sight words. Along with that, this resource features a bunch of flash cards that you can use to introduce and practice these words. You can choose to print them with sharp edges or curved ones, though I prefer the curved ones. Otherwise students might hurt themselves on the edges, which is something we'd like to prevent altogether. Now with this resource come a bunch of Bingo sheets. So just print out the flash cards and draw them one by one. The students can now cross the words off from their very own bingo cards. Once they have filled out the entire card, they can yell out the magic word, which is of course BINGO. You csn decide for yourself if you also want to attach a prize to this in order to motivate your students even more. Finally, there are word lists.

This fossil flashcards feature lovingly hand-painted watercolor illustrations of fossils discovered along the famous Yorkshire Coast near Whitby. These make a stunning addition to nature tables or classrooms, providing a wealth of learning opportunities. Use them as ID cards on beach walks or with real fossils. The fossils depicted on these cards are familiar beach finds around the world. It also comes with a free poster depicting all 12 fossils. To create a tactile finished item, I highly recommend printing onto high-quality paper. I like to use watercolor paper as the texture is beautiful to handle.
