Print Bingo Cards

Not only do kids love playing bingo, but it’s a fun way to learn new things from math to grammar, even foreign languages.  Having a few sets of kids bingo games around means they can be engaged in this fun, interesting activity with minimal cost or cleanup.  Birthday party bingo is huge at kids parties, but we think these kids bingo games are fun any time.  Here are a few we like:

Aloha Bingo Game features a list of Hawaiian words to call from, and 8 bingo game boards.  Marker pieces with a hibiscus design cover the squares.  Not only is this an interesting way to learn about Hawaiian culture, but the set itself is fun and festive with beautiful colors you’ll love to look at.

Another fun kids bingo game is Pokemon Bingo. This set includes 16 cards as well as a call sheet and pokemon character markers.  These high-quality cards includes all of the major Pokemon characters

Finally, we were so excited to find
High School Musical: Friends 4 Ever Bingo which includes 8, 6 x 8″ bingo cards. Yay, Wildcats Bingo!

We wanted to share this free, printable bingo game with a Thanksgiving theme at TeacherVision.com.  It is geared toward students in grades K-2 and uses a combination of words and pictures.   This bingo game is designed to help teach kids Thanksgiving-related vocabulary, and the history of the Thanksgiving holiday.

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.”
