A very cute concept for a bingo card! TV By the Numbers is designing a bingo card with each space containing a fan excuse for why a sitcom was taken off the air. Some examples: “It wasn’t promoted enough.” Or, “It needs time to grow.”

This article gives some great ideas of how to play bingo with any age group. Use bingo cards printed from the web, bingo card software, or your own design program. You can make bingo games that appeal to children in preschool, elementary school or older children. You can also create your own bingo games for adults based not just on numbers, but themes such as song titles or U.S. cities. Finally, there’s the ever popular baby shower bingo which includes all baby terms.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Kids love to play Bingo. There’s something about the adventure of being able to match what the Bingo caller is saying with the squares on their Bingo card – combined with the sheer delight of being able to yell “Bingo” before anyone else.
You can create custom Bingo cards using a basic Bingo template. The age of the children will determine what you preprint in the squares:
* For preschoolers – Consider using colors and shapes.
* For elementary school ages – Simple words, letters or numbers work well.
* For older children – Let children create their own boards with words that meet a predetermined theme such as state capitals, names of famous people or things you see on a car ride.”
We’re on the lookout for fun Halloween bingo games. Whether each bingo card includes images, words or a combination of the two, it’s a creepy fun game for any size group. You can take advantage of relatively inexpensive (or free trial) bingo card generators, but there are also some free printable bingo cards available.
For your Halloween bingo game, simply print a themed bingo card for each guest. Provide each table or player with m&m’s, hershey’s kisses, or pennies to mark squares.
