Dr. Seuss' 108th Birthday!

For Dr. Seuss' birthday we had an all school bingo game. I got the idea from the last school that I taught at, every class would have their bingo cards in their classroom and then the numbers would be called over the school's tv channel. If you got a bingo you would run into the hallway to get your prize while the game continued. 

Our school doesn't have a tv channel, but we do have an intercom! We played Dr. Seuss book bingo over the intercom...the 1st graders got some extra help from the 6th graders. I made about 25 different cards with different Dr. Seuss books in each box. The title was read and the students had to search for that book. When they got a bingo they either had to go to the office or the library for their prize.

We had so much fun and it was a great start to our March Reading Month!!
