How to play Back to School Bingo

To play Back to School Bingo, you will need:

• Paper markers or Small candy

Directions:

• Print the bingo cards on letter size paper. Finished size of each bingo card is 5×7 inch, so two bingo cards will print on one letter size paper.
• Distribute the bingo cards among the players. There are total of 10 bingo cards, so this game is best played among 10 or less people so that each player will get a chance to play.
• If you need more cards, it is best to play in smaller groups or break the play into different rounds.
• If there are more than 10 people, chances are there will be multiple winners in each round.
• Print the calling card and cut out the small squares.
• Put them in a bag or hat.
• Start playing by having one person pull out a small square card out of the bag or hat and call it out or by showing the picture or saying the number on the card.
• Players look for that picture or number on their bingo card. If they find the similar image or number, they cover it with the small candy or mark it off with the paper marker.
• Continue pulling out the small squares from the bag or hat one at a time.
• Once someone cross off five in a row, they shout out BINGO and win that game.
• Space in the center is Free space.

These always work out great whenever you want to keep kids busy on their first day of school or in a classroom setting.

You don’t need any special preparations to make these, and no mess to clean up after they are done playing.

Kids and grown ups, everyone love playing with these fun and educational bingo cards.
