Black History Bingo Printable Free
I am SO excited to share these Black History Picture Book Bingo cards with you! When I came across author Kathy Ellen Davis’s Picture Book Bingo on Instagram, I immediately shared it with my Instagram audience. I then reached out to Kathy and asked if she would create a Black History themed bingo card for me and she kindly said YES!
Additionally, our Black History Month worksheets highlight the Civil Rights movement, Brown vs Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and many other historically significant moments. With crossword puzzles, coloring pages, and biographical texts, there are numerous ways for students to learn about every facet of black history.
If you’ve never played book bingo before, it’s pretty easy and straightforward. Just read books to correspond with the categories on the card. I’d recommend it for anyone who:
- Enjoys reading
- Likes reading new types of books they wouldn’t normally read
- Likes to be challenged
- Is a consistent and dedicated enough reader to complete the challenge
Celebrating black culture and learning about the struggle of the black community is an important part of American history. First grade black history month worksheets explore heroic figures like Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Frederick Douglass. Bingo games from UnCommonCourtesy.com. Printable games to download for school, parties, and Sunday School. Prices starting at just $1.99.
Most of all, book bingo is about having FUN – even if you don’t complete the entire bingo card due to that thing called “life” we all live. Really, though, if you enjoy books, I highly recommend giving this a shot at least one time through. You can do it on your own, with your own children/grandchildren, other family members, friends or with your students.
To create these bingo cards, I came up with different categories of books and Kathy was generous enough to hand letter them on her own! I have a huge list of other categories that are not included on these cards so expect to see other versions of these bingo cards on occasion throughout the year.
I think book bingo is a wonderful opportunity for kids (and adults) to have fun while reading, along with adding an extra incentive to complete the BINGO card. Have you played book bingo before?
Why two different versions?
Use the Black History Month Picture Book Bingo card if you want to use it ONLY during the month of February which is Black History Month.
Use the Black History Picture Book Bingo card if you want to use it any time during the year.
Make sense?
