How to Play the Birthday Bingo Game
- Print the Bingo Cards and Calling Sheet: Start by printing a set of Birthday Bingo cards for all players and the calling sheet, which contains the icons that correspond to the bingo cards.
- Distribute the Bingo Cards: Give one unique bingo card to each player. Provide markers, such as coins, small candies, or buttons, to mark the spaces.
- Cut Out and Shuffle the Calling Cards: Cut out the images from the calling sheet to create a deck of cards. Shuffle the cards thoroughly.
- Choose a Caller: Designate one person to be the caller. The caller will randomly draw a card from the deck and announce the item (e.g., “Birthday Cake” or “Party Hat”).
- Mark the Cards: Players check their bingo cards for the called item. If they have it, they place a marker on that space.
- Call Out “Bingo!”: The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal shouts “Bingo!” The caller should verify the marked spaces against the calling cards to confirm the win.
- Optional Variations:
- Use patterns like “Four Corners” or “Full Card” for different challenges.
- Play multiple rounds and award prizes to the winners.
This fun and colorful game is a perfect addition to birthday parties, engaging both kids and adults in a cheerful and interactive activity!
My Favorite Printable Supplies
Here are some of my top go-to supplies for creating printable games and activities:
- Printer: A high-quality printer is essential for the best results. If you’re in the market for one, I recommend the Canon Pixma MG3620 for its reliable performance.
- White Cardstock: For most projects, I suggest using cardstock. It’s much sturdier than regular printer paper and often gives you a crisper, more professional print.
- Crayons: A must-have for any crafting household! Crayola crayons are always the best choice for vibrant colors and smooth application.
- Kid-Friendly Safety Scissors: Ideal for little ones learning to cut. These scissors are designed to cut paper, not fingers or hair, making them perfect for young crafters!
- Glue Sticks: I love using disappearing purple glue sticks. They’re easy to apply and dry clear. I always stock up in bulk because we go through them quickly!
- Lamination Machine: Laminating your printables helps them last longer, especially for reusable games. If you’re laminating, don’t forget to grab some dry-erase markers for added flexibility.
- Dry Erase Pockets: A great alternative to laminating, dry erase pockets make it easy to reuse games and activities without the need for a laminator.
