On games: "Shape-O"

Another easy project that has yielded much fun and laughter is my simplified version of "Bingo." We use shapes and small objects around the house as markers. (Today APC chose Barbie shoes and the boys small wooden blocks.) The best part is when someone achieves 3 in a row and gets to yell, "Shape-O!!!" I mean, what game isn't fun with an exclamation when you win? The parts are easy and self explanatory to make.

Happy "Shape-O" players



Not only does every one enjoy getting a little loud, but they practice their shapes to boot.

This game is easily modified and can be used to practice numbers and letters as well. What variations can you all come up with? I hope you'll share!
