Back-to-School Bingo Cards - PBS LearningMedia
Grades
K to 2tag(s): back to school (55), preK (289), social and emotional learning (111)
In the Classroom
Use a "Get to Know You" bingo card where students mingle to find classmates who match the descriptions (ex., "has a pet," "loves pizza," "walks to school"). Introduce or review daily classroom routines with a bingo card that includes items like "push in your chair," "raise your hand," or "line up quietly." Play throughout the week to reinforce expectations in a fun way. Select a bingo card that focuses on emotions and behaviors. Each time students practice a skill (ex., helping a friend, using kind words, taking a breath when upset), they mark it off. Celebrate when students get bingo! Have students design their own back-to-school bingo boards based on what they've learned about classroom rules, friendships, or health habits. They can exchange boards and play in pairs or small groups.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Back to School Games - PBS Kids
Grades
K to 2tag(s): back to school (55), preK (289), social and emotional learning (111), social skills (24)
In the Classroom
After playing a game about getting ready for school, have students participate in a relay race where they "act out" getting ready -- brushing their teeth, packing a backpack, and washing their hands. Reinforce the importance of each step through discussion and fun movement. Set up a station with various objects (toys, snacks, books, etc.). Have students "pack" their school backpack by choosing what belongs and what doesn't -- mirroring what they practiced in the digital games. Inspired by games about emotions, help students create a "Feelings Toolbox." They can draw or write about tools that help them when they feel mad, sad, or nervous -- like taking a breath, asking a teacher, or hugging a stuffed animal. Use characters and situations from the games to role-play common school scenarios (ex., joining a group at recess, asking for help, sharing materials). Students can take turns practicing kind words and body language, then reflect on how it felt.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
