JINGO

Learn while you play bingo.

Bingo is a fun game that most kids are familiar with and that covers a lot of skill areas. A step above bingo, JINGO adds a teaching element to bingo games. Instead of calling letter/number combinations to cover, JINGO games come with clue calling cards that inform and question. Clue cards also include pictures for those who need a visual to match. JINGO now comes in 55 themes. I have blogged about several, but my collection is growing, so I decided to group them here. Just click on the game name to go to my post about that specific game.
