Rhyming Bingo by MindWare’s Peaceable Kingdom has an educational twist on a classic game. Rhyming is an essential phonemic awareness skill for pre-readers. Phonemic awareness is when children learn that words are made of sounds. This foundational awareness leads to reading and writing success. This bingo game includes 6 double-sided playing boards, 48 object tokens that feature colourful pictures, a canvas carrying bag, and plastic chips for covering your Bingo board. The “caller” randomly chooses a word token from the bag and says the word aloud. Players then place their plastic chip on any rhyming words. Early learners and readers will love this game. As a word is called out, for instance “king,” everyone thinks of rhyming words, “ring, sing, wing" etc. some of which may or may not be on the bingo cards. This is great for children that aren’t quite reading yet, as they gain confidence to sound out and find possible answers. Rhyming Bingo reinforces learning of word families. Having a better understanding of these sound patterns can help prepare a child for reading and writing success.
