Bingo

Ages 2–5

Channel info

Channel: Noodle & Pals

Accent: Canadian

Why we picked it: Noodle & Pals is a spin-off of Super Simple Songs, run by the same Toronto-based Skyship Entertainment team since 2006.

Learning focus: Letter-by-letter spelling of a name, with each repeat dropping one letter for a clap — builds letter recognition and trains kids to hear word boundaries and syllable-length pauses.

Tip: watch it through once together before trying the activity below.

Sing along

There was a farmer had a dog, and Bingo was his name-o.

B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o.

NOW TRY THIS

Tap the word that finishes each line.

Not reading yet? Read the choices out loud and let your child point — you tap it for them.

Reading on their own? Let them try it solo.

1. "There was a farmer had a _______."
