FOR THIS ONE . . . 

There are 30 different Harry Potter Bingo Sheets to choose from. 

Each sheet has the same 29 characters in a different combination. 

Like the other Bingo games I have made before, I forgot to make a hostess sheet with which to call out characters (like, "N Ronald Weasley"). 

Why do I ALWAYS forget this?!

Just print off a spare duplicate and cut out the characters, fold in half and drop them in a container to pull from along with the letters in a different cup to pull from. 

Here's the link for my Harry Potter Bingo Sheets! Happy playing.

These characters are copies of this artwork found in a google search. 

They were copied onto poster board and color was added. 

 

 

 

 

May 2 is International Harry Potter Day. Here are 2 activities that I threw together to celebrate Harry Potter for the week.

Eat Slugs, Malfoy!

For inspiration, I was flipping through Jim Kay's illustrated version of Chamber of Secrets when this idea came to me. I knew I wanted something eye grabbing, right as kids walked into the room and this was it. 

The concept behind this was, if Ron's curse had worked as it should have, Draco would have been vomiting up slugs instead of Ron. 

So for this, kids could color slugs and put them in Draco's mouth. Weird, yes but the kids LOVED it!

Here's a bit more on how my Draco was built . . . 

The second activity was another poster board prompt, my most recent passive program obsession. 

Question: There are hundreds of characters in the Harry Potter series. How many can we list?

There were repeats on the board (I expected there to be) and a few people who were too shy to contribute because they couldn't think of un-named characters (even though I encouraged them to write duplicates) but all in all, this table got a good deal of traffic. 

Undoubtedly, there would have been more participation if I had chosen a different prompt but I wanted to do something different. 

In celebration of the Hogwarts start of term (Sept 1) and the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Sorcerer's Stone, we set out some activities focusing on book 1!

Below are 4 different activities.

1. Sorting Hat

2. Harry's School Supplies Scavenger Hunt

It's time for Harry to leave for the Platform but Dudley has scattered Harry's things!! Can you find Harry's school supplies for his first year at Hogwarts?

(I know, Dudley steered clear of Harry in the days leading up to his departure and wouldn't have scattered Harry's school supplies... just go with it 😆😉)

They're not colored - only black and white- because I didn't have time to add color to them. 

Inside the PDF is a copy of this checklist, but in case you need it, here's a picture of it. 

3. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Movie Bingo

There are 10 different bingo sheets to play as you watch the 1st movie. 

They could probably be done with other HP movies, but were made with the 1st movie in mind.

 Here's an example of two of cards

 4. Neville and Trevor Path Game

Neville Longbottom has lost his toad, Trevor! Can you help reunite them? Make a path using the pieces inside Harry's school trunk!

 The pieces were squares of cardboard with lines drawn using white-out. 

To get stats for this, I drew a frog asking how many squares it took the kids to make their path.

 👆 Well, this picture isn't exactly what I had in mind but...
