Classic bingo, set up the right way
These cards follow the traditional layout: B holds 1 to 15, I holds 16 to 30, N holds 31 to 45 with the free space in the middle, G holds 46 to 60 and O holds 61 to 75. Players know straight away which column to look in when the caller says "G 52", which keeps the game moving quickly for groups of any age.
The caller board
The last page lists all 75 numbers in their columns. Tick each number as you call it, so checking a winner's card takes seconds. Or cut the board along the dashed lines into 75 slips and draw them from a bag, which is handy when a child wants to be the caller.
Number sense in disguise
Number bingo is surprisingly good maths practice. Instead of calling the number, call a sum: "B, 6 plus 7" or "O, 9 times 8". Children work out the answer before they can mark it. For younger players, lower the top number to 30 or 45 so the numbers are ones they can read with confidence.
For clubs, care homes and parties
Large-print cards help older players too. One card per page gives the biggest numbers, and four per page is great for a game night where people play several cards at once. The Plain theme prints clean black numbers with no border, but you can pick a seasonal theme for a holiday party. Make up to 40 different cards in one PDF.
