My kiddos and I are continuing on in our fruits and vegetables unit study today. We are having a great time learning all kinds of fruit and vegetable vocabulary, learning how these plants grow, and how they’re categorized.

We’ve taken a long break from science and it feels great to get back into the swing of learning!

In addition to our reading, we played several games of Fruits and Vegetables Bingo – SO fun!

Reading About Fruit

This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.

In case you missed the first post about our fruits and vegetables unit study, these are the spine books that we’re reading. While we will read a variety of other books, these are the three that we will read through several times.

Today, we reviewed a bit in the vegetable book and read half of the book about fruit. You know they are great children’s books when it’s just as fascinating to mom as it is to the kids!

Isn’t that one of the best parts about being a homeschool mama? When the topic is just as interesting to you as it is to your kids?

Love that!

Even though we eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables at our house, we found many foods in our spine books that were new to us.

Plantains, avocados, rutabagas, and parsnips were new to my children. We’ll find a few of those at the grocery store this week and try them.

The Vegetables We Eat by Gail Gibbons

We started with this book and learned the words perennial and annual and learned that vegetables are categorized into 6 groups based on the part of the vegetable we eat.

The Fruits We Eat by Gail Gibbons

We read through this fruit book today and looked at the variety of ways fruits grow: bushes, plants, trees, and vines.

We also talked about the outer coverings of some fruits and how it protects the inner fleshy part that we eat. On the flip side of that, some fruits have a minimal outer covering and are squished easily. (think blueberries!)

From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons

We are also slowly reading through this book as we observe our bean seeds and record our results in our nature journals.

This has excellent descriptions of a seed as it germinates and sprouts.

Fruits and Vegetables BINGO!

Because I wanted a game for us to play this week, I made a set of Fruits and Vegetables Bingo! We’ve played several times, and it is just plain fun.

You can use any counters that you might have, but my girls opted to use our beloved bear counters.

I included a page of counters that you can print, but you can use anything you have around the house: popcorn kernels, dried beans, Hershey’s Hugs (my counter of choice), small rocks, or pennies.

To play, everyone chooses a Bingo board. I’ve included 6 different boards, so the maximum amount of players is 6.

The caller chooses a fruit or vegetable from the stack and everyone sees if that particular fruit or vegetable is on his or her board.

I – peas or G – peach are examples.

The first player to get 5 in a row wins!

Fruit and Veggie Bingo Game with FREE Bingo Cards

The kind of Bingo games that grown-ups play can be way too complicated for preschool students or those in kindergarten. Matching a number to a letter is tricky if you don't know even know all your letters or numbers, after all! That's why this beginner Bingo game is great for kids--it substitutes pictures of food kids know for the letters and numbers! By having things like apples, broccoli, nuts, or other healthy foods the students can learn about nutritious foods while having fun.

How To Play

Before playing the game must be prepared. Print a copy of the template that will cut-up into little individual cards. Then the other template will be large cards that have random orders of the fruits, veggies, and nuts that students will use for the Bingo game. The teacher will put their cards aside in a random order and the students will take their large Bingo cards - 2 to 10 kids can play the game. Also, something needs to be used as, “Chips”, to put on the bingo board, and it can be anything from pieces of scrap paper to little pieces of candy the kids are allowed to eat in between games as a treat. One everything is ready, the game will begin.

The teacher will show a random card and then call-out what the fruit, veggie, or nut is - they also can ask students to help say what it is too! As these cards are drawn the kids can place there, “Chip”, on their bingo board anytime one of their fruits, veggies, or nuts are called. This will help the preschool and kindergarten students to learn the names of various foods while also working hard to pay close attention to the game. Once a student has all the fields filled-up on their bingo board (AKA a, “Blackout”) they win and can yell, “Bingo!”
