1 Zingo: Players: Give each child a Zingo card and decide what color side will be facing up (green or blue). 2. Make sure all the Zingo chips are back inside the Zingo chip holder (lift the lid off and place them back inside if not). 3. Tell the children that when they see a chip that matches a picture they have on their card, they need to say their name out loud. The first two children to say their name will get the chips. 4. Slide the Zingo chip holder forward and reveal 2 chips. Before giving the chips to the children who said their names the most quickly, ask them to tell you what the picture is on the chip. If they can tell you they can place that chip on their board, if not let someone else who knows have a turn at trying to name it. 5. The first child to fill up their board and say, ZINGO! wins and gets to decide what color side to play next (green or blue) 6. Play for 20 minutes or 2 games which ever happens first. 7.
