- One person is designated as the caller. This person will call out the numbers and and keep track of which numbers have been called.
- Give each player one bingo card and a bingo marker! If you don't have bingo markers, you can also use a dot marker, sticker, or even a pencil to cross out the numbers would work.
- The center piece is a free space, and can be marked right away!
- Place all of the numbers into a bag or bowl and mix them up.
- When a number is called, each player searches and marks the square if it appears on their cards.
- The first person to mark off 5 boxes in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally calls out BINGO! This marks the end of the game!
Fun Bingo Game Variations:
- Black out – to make the game last a bit longer, you play until someone gets every square on their card marked off.
- After one player wins, keep going until everyone gets a bingo. We have used this at family parties when younger kids all get a treat.
- Optional: Laminate the cards and use dry erase markers. This would be a great idea for a road trip or travel game!

Each bingo card has the number between 1 and 75 on them. There are 30 different cards and are set up with two cards to a page, and are downloaded as a PDF file. Because each player needs a unique bingo sheet, you could play in small groups or groups of up to 30 people. I decided to keep this as a black and white version to save on ink. Make sure to print out new cards for each new game!
There is also a calling card number printable to keep track of which numbers you have called. When a winner calls bingo, the caller can check their bingo card against the calling cards to confirm the win.
