Spanish Sabado #1: Mis Colores Bingo for Color Word Recognition

Hola amigos!
It was my turn to host Tot School this week and I took this opportunity to concentrate on color word recognition. Nugget is good at recognizing his color words in English and is still learning to recognize the Spanish words for the colors. I made Mis Colores Bingo as an interactive and fun way for him to learn more color words in Spanish and recognize those we have already covered. Chi-Chi can also benefit from the Mis Colores Bingo game by using the English cards.

The printable Mis Colores Bingo game pack is free to you to download and includes both Spanish and English Bingo cards. Just click on the link above or click on the picture below to be directed to the download. I only ask that you use for personal reasons and do not distribute as your own work or remove the seal at the bottom of the printable. I suggest that you laminate or insert the bingo card into a plastic page protector to get as many uses as possible. You will need it!

We worked on the English Bingo cards this week with our Tot school friends. They had a fantastic time playing Mis Colores Bingo. Nugget wanted to play again the following day. We decided to use the dot markers in the respective colors this time around.

The game is geared toward toddlers of at least 3 years of age. However, you can alter the game for your child’s learning level. If you child hasn’t begun recognizing the color words just yet, you can make the BINGO cards more appropriate by having your child color in the blocks with the designated color before playing Mis Colores BINGO. This will help them see the word and the associated color.

To make the game more challenging, read out the colors in the language that is not displayed on their card. Your child will then have to identify the color in the spoken language then seek the color on their BINGO card in the alternative language.
