Bingo Card Generator: Print Custom Bingo Cards

Type your words or numbers, one per line, with at least as many items as squares on the card. Choose a 3 by 3, 4 by 4 or 5 by 5 card, decide on a free middle square and pick how many cards you need. Press Make the cards. Each card has a different order, two print per page, and the last page is the call list.

Free to use, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded.

Each card needs enough different items to fill every square. Repeated lines count once.

How to use it

  1. 1. Enter your items

    Type or paste the words or numbers you want on the cards, one per line. A 5 by 5 card with a free square needs 24 different items.

  2. 2. Choose the card

    Pick 3 by 3 for little ones, 4 by 4 for a quick game or 5 by 5 for the classic. Keep the free square ticked if you want one in the middle of odd sizes.

  3. 3. Press Make the cards

    Every card gets the items in its own random order, with no item twice on one card. Set the number of cards to match your group, up to 40.

  4. 4. Print and call

    Press Print. Two cards fit on each page, and the final page lists every item in a random order. Read from it as the caller and tick off each one as you go.

Ideas for class and home

  • Sight word bingo

    Fill the list with the sight words your group is learning. Children read each square carefully because they must match the word you call.

  • Math fact bingo

    Put answers on the cards and call the questions. Children work out each one in their head and cover the answer when they find it.

  • Vocabulary review

    Use the key words from a unit, then call out definitions instead of the words. It turns revision into a game the whole class can play at once.

  • Family and party games

    Make a bingo card of things to spot on a car journey or at a birthday party, and give every guest a different card.

Questions and answers

Is the bingo card generator free?

Yes. You can make as many sets of cards as you like at no cost, and there is nothing to sign up for.

Will every card be different?

Each card is shuffled on its own, so the items sit in a different order. If your list is only a little longer than the card, some cards may share many items.

How many items do I need?

A 3 by 3 card needs 9, a 4 by 4 card needs 16 and a 5 by 5 card needs 25. A free square takes one place, so 5 by 5 then needs 24.

Do you keep my lists?

No. Everything is made inside your browser on your own device, and the lists are not uploaded or saved anywhere.
