Product Information

We've also included a lines version, where the first player to complete a line gets bingo, or the first player to complete the 'u' shape gets bingo. After playing bird bingo, be sure to debrief. Ask kids which birds were easiest or hardest to find, what were the birds doing when you saw them, and what clues did you use to be sure of your ID? You can encourage kids to use the Merlin app to learn more about the birds they saw and listen to their songs. Congratulate them on being awesome birders! Bird Bingo is illustrated by Christine Berrie who studied at the Glasgow School of Art and Royal College of Art, London. Make pop-up egg cards! These eggs look realistic and have a picture of a bird which lays them inside.

Spot all kinds of birds—from a sparrow to a bald eagle, from a peafowl to a kiwi bird—mark them off on your card and “bingo!”. Bird Bingo brings a fun and educational twist to a traditional game and will help players learn the names and features of both their favourite species as well as some more exotic birds. Besides that, you can use the cards for setting up a sorting activity or a memory game. Get Bird Bingo! More Bird Activities These six nature art prompts encourage artists of all ages to finish the ink drawings of birds with natural materials.

The great thing about this bird bingo game is you can play it with a wide range of ages. From very young children in preschool up to upper elementary aged kids!

In the game, you will find rules for how to play it in a relaxed and non-competitive way, having a full card as the end goal, but also rules for how to play it in a fast and competitive manner, that will appeal to older players with more bird knowledge.

Did you know that some male and female birds of the same species look different, especially during the mating and breeding seasons? On those cards intended to showcase the variety of birds in a region, species are depicted by a male in his brightest plumage. The last set of bingo cards, however, focuses on the differences within a species and showcases the difference between males and females. This bingo game works well as an extension of the match male and female bird activity. Levels of Bingo Complexity
