Alphabet bingo

Bumpy Keys teaches where each letter lives on the keyboard. Free to start.

Choose capital or small letters, a card size and how many cards, then press Print. Every card is a different mix, and a calling list prints last.

How to make the cards

  1. Choose the letters. Capital letters or small letters, beside the heading.
  2. Choose a card size and how many cards. From 1 to 40 cards. Each card gets its own pick of letters in its own order. "New cards" deals them all again.
  3. Press Print. Your browser opens its print window with every page ready. The pages fit US Letter and A4 paper. To keep a file, choose the print window's "Save as PDF" where your browser offers it.

A 5 by 5 card holds 24 of the 26 letters, so every card is missing two, and which two changes from card to card.

How to play letter bingo

  1. Give each player a card and something to cover squares with.
  2. The caller picks a letter from the calling list, says it and ticks it off. Say the letter's name, or its sound: whichever your class is working on.
  3. Players who have the letter cover it.
  4. The first player to cover a whole row, column or corner-to-corner line calls "Bingo!" and reads the letters back.

Words instead of letters

The box takes words too: type your own list and press "Use my words". For ready-made word cards, see sight word bingo.

What it looks like on paper

A printed alphabet bingo card: five rows of five capital letters with a free square in the middle

These are cards the tool printed. Every card is its own mix of the letters, so yours will differ.
