Shane Warne

Never in the history of cricket commentary has one man known all the answers to every question, been everywhere, and done everything. He’s been saying it all along..

Just annoying….So so so so annoying. Expert at using really lame superlatives and descriptive words over and over and over again.

Mark Nicholas

A slightly more benign sort of annoying.. and an uncanny resemblance to Vladmir Putin.

How to play the bingo game for kids

Cut out the Bingo Cards and game cards. Then turn the game cards upside down. Have your child lift a card and then call out the name of the insect. This is a great way to teach the kids insect vocabulary words like the words: caterpillar, cricket, spider, ladybug, dragonfly, bee, worm, flea, snail, ant, etc.

Once one person’s game mat is filled with bingo counters then that person wins!

Variation for the cards:

You could also use the cards for a different game.

Have your child pick up a card. Then your child has to either act like that particular insect or describe it.

For example if your child picks up a ladybug… she would need to describe the colors, whether it has spots, whether it flies.

Or she can act out how a ladybug acts and you can guess what it is.
