Bingo Game Board Templates

Playing a rousing game of Bingo is always fun – regardless of the age of the players. It is relatively easy-to-play and can be enjoyed by large and small groups of all ages.

Bingo game board templates let you create your own Bingo cards. With a template, you can customize what you want to have on your Bingo card. Traditionalists may prefer the basic number cards, but other players might enjoy having a card that is customized with words or images that follow a theme.

With a template, your Bingo cards can include words that make the card an educational tool. And, you can always tailor the words on the cards to a special game audience. For example, non-English speaking players would appreciate a bilingual Bingo card. A church school class would enjoy cards with Christian names or Bible terms.

Basic Bingo Number Templates

If you are looking for basic Bingo cards with numbers, there are several Bingo templates online. Just select whether you want a black and white card or, if you have a color printer, a colored Bingo card. The template design program will automatically create four Bingo cards with the numbers randomly assorted throughout the four cards. To create additional cards, just print another set.

Customized Bingo Templates

You can create a totally custom Bingo card using a basic Bingo template. Here's how:

Use a design program such as the Bingo card maker on the Internet.
Type a word in each of the squares.
Click "Free Bingo Space."
Print the completed Bingo card.
Click "Shuffle Words" to create a different card for another player. Repeat as many times as necessary to make sure that each player has their own unique card.

Themed Bingo Templates

The design program will let you select the number of squares you want on your card and whether you want pictures or numbers on your card.
Select the theme of your card.
Select whether you want to have black and white cards or color cards.
Enter the 5-word title you want on the top of the card such as "Bingo" or "Party"
Print out the completed Bingo cards. Use the design program to print additional cards so that you have a different card for each player. Print the Call Out sheet.

Bingo for Kids

Kids love to play Bingo. There's something about the adventure of being able to match what the Bingo caller is saying with the squares on their Bingo card – combined with the sheer delight of being able to yell "Bingo" before anyone else.

You can create custom Bingo cards using a basic Bingo template. The age of the children will determine what you preprint in the squares:

For preschoolers - Consider using colors and shapes.
For elementary school ages – Simple words, letters or numbers work well.
For older children – Let children create their own boards with words that meet a predetermined theme such as state capitals, names of famous people or things you see on a car ride.

Bingo for Adults

Adult Bingo cards traditionally have included numbers. You can make your own number-based Bingo cards, but the fun can really be increased if you customize your cards with words that have special meaning to the players. Here are a few ideas:

Famous movies
Movie star names
Book titles
Song titles
Dog breeds
Cities in the United States

Customized Bingo cards are particularly fun for family gatherings. Don’t forget to include large size type so that everyone can easily play, even without their glasses! Fill the squares with words that have special meaning for the family members such as:

First names of family members
Cities where family members live, or have lived
Names of family pets

Baby Shower Bingo

What's a baby shower without games? You can incorporate the gift opening process along with the fun of a baby shower gift Bingo game. Guests create their own Bingo cards based on what gifts they think have been brought to the party. Then, as the mom-to-be opens her gifts, the guests mark gifts off their Bingo card.

To Create the Bingo Template

Create a 10 inch by 10 inch square on a piece of paper.
Cover the square in a very light solid color or patterned piece of gift paper.
Divide the 10 inch by 10 inch square into five rows and five columns. This will result in 25 total squares, each two inches by two inches.
Take the template to a copy shop and have enough color copies made for each shower guest.

To Play Baby Shower Gift Bingo

Each shower guest is given a bingo board and twenty five pennies or small pieces of paper to cover each of the squares.
Each guest picks one of the 25 squares and writes her gift in the square. Then, in each remaining square, the guest writes the name of a gift that she thinks the new mom will receive. She can repeat the name of a gift in multiple squares if She thinks she will receive multiples of the same gift.
As the new mom opens each gift, guests use the pennies or small pieces of paper to cover up their guesses.
When one of the guests has covered five square across or down they win the game..
