Free Printable Animal Classification Bingo Game Lesson Plans
When homeschooled our kids, I invented this game to teach animal classification. I'm always looking for hands-on, interactive ways to teach concepts. To explore animal taxonomy, habitats and life science and biology, we played animal bingo. My children had an impressive collection of stuffed animals, toy animals and plastic animals (Webkinz, Neopets, Beanie Babies, plus assorted other). I put that collection to use to teach KPCOFGS (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Genus, Species). I used it in preschool to teach animal kingdoms (mammal, bird, insect, fish, reptile, amphibian). I used it for other science sorting games (nocturnal/diurnal, egg-laying/live birth, predator/prey). We learned about habitats, biomes, biodiversity, adapation, body covering and lots more neat science stuf. Here's how. Homemade Animal Classification Bingo Game.

Best Free Online Spelling, Vocabulary Games to Boost Reading Skills
Looking for free online reading games and spelling activities? I'll share links, but you have to promise not to tell anyone about my secret. See, I have a confession to make--I love online word games. For all the articles I write warning parents and kids about the dangers of obsessive game playing, I should be the last one to fall prey to online gaming. But I admit there are advantages. Playing word games helps boost my visual tracking, perceptual acuity and typing skills (or so I tell myself). Mostly, I use them as a brain break from writing and research.
