Just print out the bingo sheets. I’ve included 8 FREE printable bingo boards (see below) that are in color. Each board is different in the set. You could laminate the boards if you want to use them for years to come.

Give each child a handful of counters. We used mini erasers. You could also use counting cubes, candy or buttons.

PLAYING BEGINNING SOUNDS BINGO

Have the kids cover up their free spot in the middle of the board.

Call out a sound. Each child should place a marker on a picture that begins with the sound called. Get five in a row or column and call, “BINGO” to win.

For example, if you call the sound /t/, the child would cover up the picture of the tent.

A list of words is provided.

How to Set-Up Winter Bingo

First print off the calling card and bingo cards (link to the free printable below).

1. Cut out the calling cards and place them in a bowl or jar for selecting.

2. Cut out the bingo cards. Each player gets a bingo card. If you have more than 10 players you can put kids into small groups to play together.

3. Use a candy or non-candy item as markers. When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image.

4. When calling out the images – you can describe the image or show the picture.

5. You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won.

How Can I Play With More People?
