Classroom Bingo Games
Easy, ready-to-go classroom bingo games for teachers and parents. Practice sight words, letters, numbers and math facts, or celebrate the season with themed picture bingo, on screen or with printed cards for every student.
How to play Classroom Bingo Games
- Pick a theme (sight words, letters, numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, animals, colors and shapes, or a season or holiday) and a card size: 3×3 for little ones, 4×4, or the classic 5×5 with a free middle square.
- Press Start calling. The caller shows (and reads out loud) one call at a time. For math themes the caller shows a problem like 7 + 5 and players look for the answer, 12, on their card.
- Tap a square on your card when it is called. Squares that have not been called yet cannot be marked, so there is no cheating!
- The first player to mark a full line across, down or diagonally wins: the game spots it and shouts BINGO!
- For a whole class, press Print cards to print a different card for every student (plus an optional caller checklist), then call the game from the board or a teacher’s laptop.
Controls
- Space or Enter: next call
- Tap or click a square to mark it
Tips
- Math bingo works best with a short pause between calls so students have time to solve each problem.
- Use 3×3 cards and picture themes for pre-K and kindergarten, and 5×5 sight word or multiplication cards for older students.
- Turn on Mark my card automatically when you only want to show the calls on a projector.
- Print the caller checklist and tick off each call if you are calling away from the screen.
