Bingo Card Generator

Type in your words, pick a card size, and print. Each card is shuffled differently, so you will never have two players shouting bingo on the same call. You can also make classic 75-ball number cards, and a caller checklist comes with every set.

How it works

Three steps to a printed page

  1. Type one word or phrase per line, or switch to numbers 1–75.

  2. Choose 3×3, 4×4 or 5×5 squares and how many cards you need.

  3. Press Print. Pick "Save as PDF" in the print window if you want a file instead.

How many words do I need?

A 5×5 card has 25 squares. With the free space in the middle you need 24 words to fill one card. That is the minimum, though. If you only enter 24, every card has the same words in a different order, and lots of people will win at once.

For a group of 20 or more, aim for about 40 words. The cards then share some words but not all of them, and games last long enough to be fun. For little kids, a 3×3 card with 8 words plus a free space finishes before anyone gets restless.

Running a game

Print the caller checklist on its own page and tick each word off as you call it. When someone shouts bingo, check their card against your list rather than taking their word for it.

Dried beans, pennies, Cheerios and mini marshmallows all work as markers. If you print on cardstock and slide the cards into sheet protectors, kids can mark them with dry-erase markers and you can reuse them all year.

Picture bingo for kids who cannot read yet

Use short, concrete words like "dog" or "red" and read each one aloud as you hold up a picture or object. Kids match the sound and the shape of the word, which is early reading practice without anyone calling it that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the bingo cards really all different?

Yes. Every card in a set is checked against the others before it is drawn, so no two are the same. Press Shuffle to deal a whole new set.

How do I print bingo cards as a PDF?

Press Print, then choose "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF" on Windows) as the printer. You get a PDF with one card or several per page, depending on your settings.

What numbers go in each column of 75-ball bingo?

B is 1–15, I is 16–30, N is 31–45, G is 46–60 and O is 61–75. The N column has the free space.

Can I put several bingo cards on one page?

Yes. Choose 2 or 4 cards per page to save paper. Four per page works well for 3×3 and 4×4 cards; 5×5 cards with long phrases are easier to read at one or two per page.
