For bingo cards just use the bingo cards that go with the singular animals set.

If you want to mix them with the singular set, here are some game cards with the same backings as the singular animal set. small singular game cards, small singular game cards with b/w backings

Mark's note:  The standard animal flashcard sets have the article 'a' or 'an' at the top left of the picture.  These plural cards have 2-5 animals in one frame with the article taken out and an 's' placed at the bottom right to help signify that they need to place an 's' at the end.  

I present the plural sets 4-6 months after they have covered several sets of nouns.  I show them the card with 'a bear' and then the card with 'bears.'  I usually try to let them see what is different about the cards and why.  Somebody will get it.  Afterwards, I cover the difference between 'What's this?' and 'What are these?' still using the two different flashcard sets, mixing singular with plural.  Once the students understand, I continue focusing only on the plural form.

Irregular plurals are left in place.  I deal with them as they come up.  There is only one in the first set (fish.)
