Jesus Loves Me Bingo (Free Printable Game)

Jesus Loves Me Bingo reminds children of the ways God shows his love for us. It could be used near Valentine’s Day or any time you are emphasizing God’s love. The 3×3 cards (where you have to get 3 in a row) would work well for kindergarten and above. The 2×2 cards (where you have to mark all 4 pictures) would work well for kindergarten and below.
