Example

Example: 14 different cards for the family after Thanksgiving dinner

Fourteen people at the table, from a six-year-old to Grandpa. Settings: keep the thirty words, How many cards 14, Board 5 × 5, Free square in the middle, B-I-N-G-O across the top, Add a call list, Cards per sheet Two, Title “Thanksgiving Bingo”, Letter.

  1. A 5 × 5 card has 25 squares and FREE in the middle, so it needs 24 words: each card takes 24 of the 30 in its own order and leaves 6 off, and no two cards are the same.
  2. Any word you call is on about four cards in five (24 of 30), so rows fill quickly and a game fits between dinner and pie.
  3. On a word card the letters B-I-N-G-O are only a heading: any word can be in any column, so you call “stuffing”, not “B, stuffing”.
  4. The last page is the call list: all 30 words in the order on the page, each with a box to tick as you call it.
Board Words a card needs With the 30 words on the page
3 × 3 8, with the free square22 left off each card: quick games for the kids’ table
4 × 4 16 (no middle square, so no free one)14 left off each card
5 × 5 24, with the free square6 left off each card
6 × 6 36 (no free square)Too few: add at least 6 more words

bingo-14.pdf, 8 pages: 7 sheets of two cards, cut apart along the line between them, and the call list. Corn kernels or candy corn make the markers.

How it works

  1. Keep the thirty Thanksgiving words or change them, one per line.
  2. Choose how many cards, one for each player, and the board size.
  3. Download, print, and call the words from the list at the end.

Frequently asked questions

How many can play?
Up to 200 cards, each one different, so the whole family or class can play at once.
What can we use as markers?
Dried corn kernels, beans or candy corn: they fit the theme and nobody minds losing a few.
Can I use pictures?
This bingo uses words; the Thanksgiving coloring pages have the pictures.
How many words do I need?
One for every square: 24 for a 5 × 5 card with the free square, 16 for a 4 × 4, 8 for a 3 × 3 with the free square and 36 for a 6 × 6. A word typed twice counts once. With more words than squares, each card gets a different selection, which keeps the cards from filling at the same pace.
Do the B-I-N-G-O letters mean anything on a word card?
No, they are the heading. On number cards each letter has its own range (B 1–15 up to O 61–75); on a word card any word can be in any column, so just call the word. Untick B-I-N-G-O across the top to leave them off.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The set of cards is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the last page.
