Make number recognition and counting practise exciting with this Easter-themed Bingo game! Designed for small groups, this interactive activity helps students develop their counting skills, number recognition, and subitising in a fun and engaging way. Featuring colourful Easter-themed images, this game encourages students to count small collections of objects while reinforcing number fluency and turn-taking skills.

How to Complete:

1. The game leader draws a number card and reads it aloud.
2. Students search their Bingo mat to find an image containing that quantity of objects. If they find a match, they cover the image with a counter. If no match is found, they wait for the next round.
3. The first student to cover three spaces in a row and call out "Bingo!" wins the round.
4. The game can continue until all board spaces are covered for extended play.

Additional Tips:

1. Print the Easter Bingo mats and cards on thick card for durability.
2. Provide students with counters to cover the spaces on their mat, or a suitable alternative, such as mini erasers, play dough or cute Easter chicks!
3. Encourage subitising by having students quickly identify smaller sets of objects.

Extension Ideas:

1. Increase the Challenge: Have students say or write the number word before covering their board.
2. Addition & Subtraction: To challenge capable students, call out simple addition or subtraction problems within 10 and have students find and cover the corresponding image.
3. Speed Bingo: Play a fast-paced version where students must quickly find and cover their numbers before time runs out.

This versatile and engaging game is perfect for small group work during the Easter season.
