Bingo Card Generator
Turn any word list, set of numbers or your class names into printable bingo cards, every one different. Then call the game from the board with a caller that remembers what's been drawn.
How to use it
- Type or paste your items, one per line: vocabulary, sight words, numbers, answers to review questions. Or choose your class to play name bingo.
- Pick the grid size and how many cards you need, then press Make cards. Every card is different, and each one is numbered.
- Press Print to get two cards on each page. Then open Call items and press Call next (or Space) to draw items one at a time, with everything called so far listed underneath.
Questions teachers ask
How many items do I need?
A 5×5 card with a free centre needs 24 items, 4×4 needs 16 and 3×3 with a free centre needs 8. Use more than that, ideally 40 or more for 5×5, so every card gets a different mix and games don't end in a tie.
Are all the cards different?
Yes. No two cards are ever the same. With a long enough list, every card also gets its own set of items. With a short list some cards share items in a different order, and the page tells you when that happens.
How do I check a winning card?
Every card has a number in the corner, and the caller lists every item drawn so far. Ask the winner to read their row out and check each item against the list.
Can I make bingo with my students' names?
Yes. Choose Student names to fill the cards from your saved class. It's a great first-week game for learning names, and absent students are left out automatically.
What can I use bingo for in class?
Vocabulary and spelling review, times-table answers, sight words, science terms, historical dates or a get-to-know-you game. Call the definition or the question, and students mark the answer.
Do the cards print without a watermark?
Yes. Cards print cleanly with your title, two per page, with nothing else from the website. There's no account, no watermark and no limit on how many you print.
