Theme: "Learn Along" Bingo: Being Kind
Welcome to "Learn Along" Bingo with PBS Kids!  With "Learn Along" Bingo, children can view, explore, and play PBS KIDS activities to help support learning at home. Two age level areas are available – PreK-K and Grades 1-2. 
PreK-K
The theme is Being Kind Week. Following this theme, check out these activities for learning ideas you and your child can choose from. Several printable activities are available. Will you make a friendship card, or a Daniel Tiger mask? Try a new activity!
Grades 1-2
Older children can use this packet to focus on positive interactions. Here are printable activities and learning ideas you and your child can do at home. Maybe print an Arthur mask, or help someone with their chores!
October Activity Calendar

Fall is here with cooler temperatures and Halloween preparations. Have fun with this October Activity Calendar. Which activities will you do first?

 
A Snack on a Skewer!
Make this fun and healthy snack from America’s Test Kitchen Young Chefs’ Club. Make enough to share with others. All you need are small tomatoes, mozzarella cheese balls, and long toothpicks. You may need adult help gathering the supplies. Who will you invite to share your snack?
