Vegetable Bingo

We were assigned to spend three hours with children. Easy enough there are nine constantly in our home, but our plans kind went out the wahzoo. Originally, Kacy and I (Kiy) planned on teaching our siblings about vegetables. We were going to do a quick game of Bingo and tell them they got a sticker when they ate a serving of veggies. But as we began we couldn't stop. We saw a way we could improve these children's life as well as our own. We decided to start with the most important, vegetables, and if it didn't work at least we'd get the grade and maybe get the kids to eat a few carrots (heaven forbid they eat anything green). We did a pretest to see how much they knew and were not too surprised about the answers (besides the fact that the five-year-old didn't think he knew what sweet potatoes were when we have them quite often). Now we knew where to start. Bingo. It's always a great beginning.

You will have one extra. 

Have the kids design their own board with pics provided. 

Older children can match the words with the picutres.
Or the reader can cut these into strips and put them in a bowl.

Have fun! We used corn kernels as markers and pennies as prizes. Be creative! Try not to use candy (since this is suppose to teach kids to be healthy).
