Bingory

Bingory - A beginners bingo/memory game.

With a 4 x 4 grid, images of a young child's toys, and four tiles for each image, this is a very basic bingo/memory game for beginners. The box and pieces are all wood. The images on the tiles are teddy bear, tricycle, ball, car, doll, train engine, ABC blocks and rocking horse. The bingo cards measure 3 1/8" square and the tiles measure 1 5/18" square.

Object:
Be the first to fill your bingo card with matching tiles.

Set up:
Give each player a bingo card. Turn the 32 tiles face down on the table.

Play:
In turn, each player with turn two tiles face up. If they are a match and the player has the image on his bingo card, they stack the two tiles on top of each other and on the same image on their bingo card. If the two tiles do not match, or if they match but the player does not need them, they turn the tiles face down and their turn is over. Turn the tiles over in the same spot so that other players have a chance of remembering where they are if they need them. Play until someone fills their bingo card with matching tiles.

Try this:

• Skip the game and play alone. Turn all tiles face up on the table and fill one bingo card at a time, making matches from the face up tiles on the table. Then turn the tiles face down and play again, making matches as in the instructions above before transferring them to your bingo card.
• Set the grid up so that the tiles are squared, but turned in different orientations, so that players will have to recognize matches when they are not both going the same direction.
• Set up the grid for a game making sure that some of the tiles are not right-side-up (but still face-down). As the player choose these tiles, ask them to turn each piece in-hand to orient it right-side-up.
• Put the pieces away by stacking one piece on top of another, then picking up both pieces in a stack and putting them on top of a third, then picking up all three and placing them on a fourth, etc. How many can you hold in your hand before having to drop them back into the box?
• Make a pattern with the tiles, such as ball, blocks, trike and ask the player to make the same pattern. Or ask them to continue the pattern until they runs out of tiles. Ask them to name the items verbally to help them remember the order.
• Sort the tiles into eight stacks, by image (there will be four of each).
• Work on visual discrimination, visual memory, visual form constancy, manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, executive functioning skills, process skills, socialization skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
