A super easy + free way to do this is using wheelofnames.com. All I did was copy and paste equations from a worksheet into the box, get rid of the answers, make the colors all cute and BOOM. GET YOUR BINGO ON. Once you’re in your virtual meeting and you’re ready to get the BINGO goin’ you’ll share that BINGO cards link with them in the.

Family game night is a great way to create memories while promoting healthy competition. Some classic board games that were in rotation during my childhood are Monopoly, Clue, and The Game of Life (my personal favorite). One game turned into two, then three, and before we knew it, hours went by filled with laughter and entertainment. After a while, our favorite games became repetitive, and it was time for something new. Thankfully, there are games you can make at home, so you don't have to spend a dime!
Bingo is the perfect game to get the entire family involved. It's easy to learn and helps pass the time while enjoying the company of loved ones. Each player gets a card with a set of random numbers and a free space. The host draws a number, and if it's on your card, mark that square. The first person to get five squares in a row shouts 'Bingo' to claim their victory then reads aloud the marked squares.
In this article, I'll show you how to make a custom printable bingo card for your next game night. You can make different versions for holidays, seasons, and special occasions like a wedding or baby shower.
We'll be creating a custom bingo card in Kapwing, a free online photo, and video editor. Let's start with creating the canvas and header. Open Kapwing Studio and click Get Started. Click Start with a Blank Canvas, then Custom Size. Type 2400 X 3000 for the output size. These dimensions are for an 8x10 size bingo card.
To help you get started, click the button below to use our printable bingo card template!
Click Elements and choose the rectangle. Resize the rectangle to fit the top of the canvas. With the shape selected, choose a color from the color panel or type in a hex code for a custom color. Click Text, select a font, and type Bingo. Increase the font size so the title fits the rectangle.
Now, let's create a grid for our numbers. Click Elements and choose the line shape. Place five horizontal lines across the canvas, evenly spaced apart, starting underneath the header.
Make four vertical lines and space them apart to create a 5X5 bingo grid.
All we need to add are numbers and a free space to complete our custom bingo card. Click Text to add your first number. Click Duplicate to type additional numbers that are the same size. You can use text, a symbol, or a picture for the free space. I clicked Elements and added a star to center of the bingo card.
In addition to numbers, you can use images and text for your bingo card. For example, images of a caramel apple, pumpkin, and boots would be great for a fall-themed bingo card. A tv-show themed bingo card could have boxes with popular phrases and character names. When you're happy with the final results, click Export Image then, Download.
When you're ready to print, make sure to click the correct paper size and Fill Entire Paper in your printer settings.
I hope this printable bingo card will come in handy when hosting your next family gathering. Get creative and make templates for different themes to keep the fun going. For more content, make sure to subscribe to Kapwing App on YouTube and follow us on Twitter at @KapwingApp.

If you’re at all like me, then you like to play bingo. I have used bingo as a teaching tool for as long as I can remember. I recently stumbled upon an online bingo creator that allows the user to create a game, distribute the URL to students, and have them play on their device. The easiest way to distribute the game is to create a QR Code (my favorite QR code generator is www.goqr.me). Students will scan the code and open up the bingo game on their iPad. If they are using a computer, you can distribute the URL for the game however you wish (I would publish the link on my site or distribute URL via Air Drop). Once students open the bingo game, they TAP on the square (iPad) or CLICK in the square (computer). The great thing is that it is very rare to have two users with the same bingo cards, as they are randomly sorted so that a whole class can play the game and have one unique winner. Bingo is a great game to play for reflection on a particular unit of study, math facts, definitions (they have to know the definition of the word if they call out “Bingo”). Even adults enjoy playing bingo as a reflection tool for professional development or have parents participate in a bingo game for open house. The possibilities are endless. Now, let’s go through the steps in creating your own bingo game.
1. Go to www.bingobaker.com
2. Click to add a title and click in each box to add text. Press generate when you are finished adding text.
3. This is one of their examples for Addition Bingo…this is what it will look like when you are finished. The URL you will want to distribute is where the red arrow points and says, “Play Online.” Even though each participant uses the same URL, it will generate a new bingo card in random order each time.
4. Other features include a call list, the option to clone and edit a game, and an option for saving a game for editing by creating an account. I always just keep the URL handy and have never created an account.
5. This is what the game looks like from the participants point of view. (The yellow squares reflect the participant clicking on the square if it is called)
Hope you have fun playing this game in your classroom!
