I love this idea from Learn with Kids Crafts - write a single letter or a dipthong on the chip and slide it
through sets of words that use that sound, reading each word aloud as you go. I can think of many variations of this, with starting and ending sounds, consonant blends, and also for math drills!
As a fine-motor and letter-recognition exercise, arrange the chips to outline letters, numbers, or shapes. You can find this set at Childcareland Pre-K's website, or an alternate set for free at Nature Inspired Learning (theirs also has tracing lines).
Practice reading analog clocks with this free Time Bingo Game available from Teachers Pay Teachers:
Also available from TPT, have some fun with this riddle-based Summer Bingo game:
Or reinforce math skills with Roll & Say Fractions Bingo:
This two-player bingo game reinforces learning of prime factors:
Preschool Vibes has a series of printable "I Spy" games designed to use with bingo chips or daubers, including letters, numbers, shapes, and more - they are not free, but there IS a weekly freebie newsletter that you should sign up for!
Printable activity sheets for bingo daubers work great for bingo chips as well - print, laminate, and use over and over. Planes & Balloons has some free printable patterning sheets that are ideal for preschoolers:
Ms. Oat's Class also shared a patterning activity that you could customize for whatever you are currently practicing - letters, numbers, shapes, music notes, etc.
Bingo chips are a fun and colorful option for sensory tables! Marissa Ashton shared this color-sorting activity using magnetic bingo chips in colors that match her little cups, and Christine at Funplayjoy4kids shared the idea of using magnetic bingo chips in sand as a treasure hunt game (which you could do in a sensory bin or at the beach!)
You can get bags of non-magnetic clear counters/bingo chips from a dollar store, or from Amazon. You can also order single or multi-color sets of magnetic chips with wands from Amazon (I have occasionally seen similar products at Dollar Tree):
To keep the chips reusable, I would suggest using fine point wet erase markers rather than permanent markers, or dry-erase markers that would rub off too quickly.
