Print Bingo Cards

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.”

To organize games for baby showers, make sure you:

• Plan the games ahead.
• Have enough copies for everyone.
• Gathered the materials or supplies needed ahead of time
• Have pens for everyone
• Have something for everyone to write on- clipboards, books or magazines work
• Plan a time limit for each game or the games as a whole. In general, 30 minutes is probably plenty of game playing.
• Keep a copy of the games for the mother-to-be’s baby book.
• Use a basket to collect all of your game supplies. Tuck it in one corner of the room so that you are ready before the party begins.
• Have prizes. They always make the party fun.

Chosing games for a baby shower for an adopted baby is a bit different.  A portion of traditional baby shower games have something to do with a mother’s pregnancy. But, there are still lots of other games that have to do with the baby and are suitable for an adopted baby shower.
