Community Places Bingo covers 30 familiar businesses and services found in many cities. Full-color illustrations of the community places assist visual learners in recognizing specific features of each site. This easy-to-play bingo game assists students in learning not only the names of the community places but more about the services available at each location.
This game corresponds with Community Helpers Bingo to promote better comprehension of local services. Throughout the game, teachers can pull from their own experiences and make comments or ask questions about each community place. As students learn more about each location, they should be encouraged to ask questions and share their own experiences.
Teachers can plan field trips to help students learn more about the places in this program. The community field trips also offer the perfect opportunity to reinforce survival signs found in and near businesses. The game is ideal for inclusive classrooms and peer-buddy groups.
