• Go thru and have the children randomly place the names on a BINGO template. Explain that they are designing their own boards, and they should place the names willy-nilly. Don’t forget the FREE space in the center of the board. (You’ll need at least 24 selections.)
• Pull the same names from the selected pool, and have the children cross them off on their board.

(You can always tweak your BINGO form to fit your specific program: see FAIRY BINGO)
