I am SO excited to share these Black History Picture Book Bingo cards with you! When I came across author Kathy Ellen Davis’s Picture Book Bingo on Instagram, I immediately shared it with my Instagram audience. I then reached out to Kathy and asked if she would create a Black History themed bingo card for me and she kindly said YES!
If you’ve never played book bingo before, it’s pretty easy and straightforward. Just read books to correspond with the categories on the card. I’d recommend it for anyone who:
Most of all, book bingo is about having FUN – even if you don’t complete the entire bingo card due to that thing called “life” we all live. Really, though, if you enjoy books, I highly recommend giving this a shot at least one time through. You can do it on your own, with your own children/grandchildren, other family members, friends or with your students.
To create these bingo cards, I came up with different categories of books and Kathy was generous enough to hand letter them on her own! I have a huge list of other categories that are not included on these cards so expect to see other versions of these bingo cards on occasion throughout the year.
I think book bingo is a wonderful opportunity for kids (and adults) to have fun while reading, along with adding an extra incentive to complete the BINGO card. Have you played book bingo before?
Why two different versions?
Use the Black History Month Picture Book Bingo card if you want to use it ONLY during the month of February which is Black History Month.
Use the Black History Picture Book Bingo card if you want to use it any time during the year.
Make sense?

How long a bingo game lasts depends on what pace you read the clues at and how many players you have. If you read faster, such as for older or more experienced students, or if you have more players, the game tends to end more quickly. In general, I suggest allocating between twenty and thirty minutes to a bingo game. Since they can potentially end as early as the fourth word called, though that is quite rare, I encourage you to keep playing in the event of the game being over earlier than you expected it to be. Almost 90% of bingo games with a 25 word list and 25 players will see their first bingo within 7 to 11 words being called.
