About Bingo
The glass ball machine shakes and a ball pops out, and your child looks for it on their card. If it is not there, a tap on the no sign moves the game on. Oomi fills a small card of its own, and the first full row, column or diagonal wins.
How to play
- Look at the new ball and find it on your card.
- Tap the square to mark it, or tap the no sign if it is missing.
- On a computer, use the arrows and Space, or press X if it is missing.
What your child practices
- Matching pictures and numbers
- Scanning a grid with care
- Quick sums and times tables
- Spotting what is not there
