Pick a theme or type your own words, choose 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
- Pick a theme. The list beside the heading has 171 themes of twenty words, in groups. Or type your own words into the box and press "Use my words".
- Choose a card size and how many cards. From 1 to 40 cards. Each card gets its own pick of words in its own order. "New cards" deals them all again.
- 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.
Card sizes
| Card | Words on a card | Middle square |
|---|---|---|
| 3 by 3 | 8 | Free |
| 4 by 4 | 16 | A word |
| 5 by 5 | 24 | Free |
A theme has twenty words, enough for a 3 by 3 or a 4 by 4 card. A 5 by 5 card needs 24, so it is for a longer list of your own: with a theme the page makes a 4 by 4 card and says so. Your own list can hold up to 40 words of up to 14 letters, a to z only. A word on the game's blocked list is left out.
The themes
Each theme also has its own word search: see word search for kids.
How to play word bingo
- Give each player a card and something to cover squares with.
- The caller reads a word from the calling list and ticks it off.
- Players who have the word cover it. On a 3 by 3 card the middle square is free.
- The first player to cover a whole row, column or corner-to-corner line calls "Bingo!" and reads the words back.
