How to Play Birthday Bingo
- Birthday Bingo is very easy to play. Even those who have never played before will catch on very quickly!
- Start by downloading and printing out the bingo calling cards and game boards. Cut up the calling cards and place them into a bowl.
- Next, hand out a game board to each player. Don’t forget to pass out whatever you’re using to mark the spaces!
- My kids love it when we use small candies as tokens, but you can get creative!
- If you are having a pirate themed party, you could use gold coins. If you are having a mermaid or ocean themed party, you could use small seashells. The options are limitless!
- After everyone has their board and markers, the game can begin.
- The caller will select a card from the bowl and read it aloud or show the image that’s on it to everyone. If any player has that item on their board, they will place a marker on that spot.
- The caller keeps drawing cards and reading them aloud. When a player gets five spots filled in a row (whether that’s horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) they will shout “Bingo!”
- The caller will double check the spaces that that person has marked and make sure that they are correct. If they are correct, that player won the round!
- You can then clear the boards and start a new round.
- For some unique variations to the traditional game, try something new, rather than five in a row. You could play to get all four corners marked to win.
- To add an extra competitive element to the game, make sure to hand out prizes to the winners! They could be something small like a lollipop, or something bigger like a toy or $5 gift card to a store.
