I cut circles out of MDF (Medium Density Fibre Board) then stuck them to a board. Luckily my school's got a laser cutter and a really helpful DT (Design Technology) teacher!
I stuck all manner of tactile things onto milk bottle lids. Double-sided sellotape (i.e. Scotch Tape) works really well here.
So far I have got:
-
textures: felt, foam, sandpaper, velcro, fur, fabric
-
shapes
-
everyday objects - coins, multilink cubes, buttons, etc.
To Play:
The youngsters start with a full board, then as they get a match they take the lid off the game board. The winner is the first with an empty board.
To orient the lid, place a bumper on the lid at 12 o’clock.
Variations:
Use the bingo game to practice matching initial letter sounds.
