**All the cards are backed he same so you can mix the sets if you wish.  However, the bingo cards are set up only for the animals in that set.**

Mark's note: I teach the first 2 animal sets very early on.  They are broken up into sets with some easy vocabulary and a few more difficult ones.  I use these sets for practicing "What's this? It's ~ ." and "Is that ~?  No, it's not ~."  The third set I do later, just before I introduce There is/are.

Mark's note:  Set 4 is a great way to introduce 'Have you ever eaten ~?'  It's a very natural question for children and you won't need to use any grammar explanation and then can build right off that pattern.
