Bingo! Using environmental print to practice reading
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=954
A lesson plan for grades K–1 English Language Arts
Students review familiar logos and images as a class, and then use the logos and images to create their own Bingo cards, which they read with a partner. After playing a Bingo game where they match images to images, they play by matching the logos on their cards to the logo words with the supporting colors and graphics removed. This activity teaches word recognition, fluency, and early reading strategies.
