Once upon a time, there was a friendly farmer who had a very special dog. Can you guess the dog’s name? It was Bingo! Let’s learn a fun song about Bingo and play with letters together!
First, let’s spell Bingo’s name. It’s spelled B-I-N-G-O. Can you say it with me? B-I-N-G-O! Great job!
We can sing a song about Bingo and take away one letter each time. Are you ready?
There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!
Now, let’s take away the letter B. There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. I-N-G-O, I-N-G-O, I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!
Next, let’s take away the letter I. There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. N-G-O, N-G-O, N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!
Now, let’s take away the letter N. There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. G-O, G-O, G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!
Let’s take away the letter G. There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. O, O, O, and Bingo was his name-o!
Finally, let’s clap for Bingo! There was a farmer who had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o. (Clap), (Clap), (Clap), (Clap), (Clap), and Bingo was his name-o!
Wasn’t that fun? Singing and clapping help us learn letters and sounds. You can try singing the Bingo song with your friends or family. Remember, learning is fun when we do it together!
Can you think of other words that start with the letters B, I, N, G, or O? Maybe you can find objects around your house that start with these letters. Have fun exploring and learning!
Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letters B, I, N, G, and O. For example, you might find a Book for B, an Ice cream for I, a Notebook for N, a Glove for G, and an Orange for O. Can you find one object for each letter? Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Bingo Name Art: Create a colorful art project using Bingo’s name! Write the letters B-I-N-G-O on a piece of paper, and decorate each letter with drawings or stickers of things that start with that letter. For example, you could draw a Ball for B, a Star for I (since it sounds like “eye”), a Nest for N, a Giraffe for G, and an Octopus for O. Display your artwork at home or in the classroom to show everyone your creativity!
Clap and Count: Practice clapping and counting with the Bingo song! Sing the song and clap for each letter you remove. Count how many claps you do each time. Can you clap and count all the way from B-I-N-G-O to just clapping? Try doing it faster or slower and see how it changes the rhythm of the song!
