3D shape bingo

Over the past week my students have been learning about 3D shapes.  Today as a little review we decided to play a game of 3D bingo.  I came up with the idea of making a shape museum, and they had to help me put the museum together by identifying and separating the shapes.  While we were doing that, they were filling out their bingo boards.  Each student was given a bingo board and a bag of markers.  The bag of markers were also all 3D shapes. 
For cones we used Bugles, spheres were gumballs, cylinders were marshmallows, and cubes were caramels.
 As I pulled out the objects that went into the museum the students named them and placed the appropriate marker on their board.  At the end of the game, all the students got bingo at the same time.  Here is a final product of what our museum looked like.
Our sphere exhibit made up of an orange, a globe, a beach ball, a balloon, a baseball, yarn, a holiday ornament, marbles, and Kix cereal.

Our cone exhibit made up of a witches hat, a glass, orange cones, air freshener, a birthday hat, a funnel, a carrot shaped jar, and an ice cream cone.
 
Our cylinder exhibit made up of a water bottle, a roll of toilet paper, a can of string beans, and an empty paper towel roll.

Our cube exhibit made up of a photo cube, a Rubix cube, a tissue box holder, and a candle box.
 
After we were done putting the museum together the students were allowed to walk around and see all the new 3D exhibits!  They had a great time and were all given the prize of a pencil with a 3D animal eraser on top!  It was a fun and interactive way of learning and reviewing our 3D shapes.
 
 
Happy Learning,
