Baby shower gift bingo

What’s included

• 8 different bingo cards, two to a page with a cut line
• 35 gift words mixed across the cards, with a free middle square
• A name line on every card
• 4 A4 pages, designed to print well in colour or black and white

How to play

1. Print the PDF and cut each page in half along the dashed line, so every guest gets a different card.
2. Hand out cards and pens as guests arrive, before the mum-to-be starts opening her presents.
3. As each gift is unwrapped, everyone with that gift on their card crosses it off. The middle square is free.
4. The first guest to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts “Baby!” and wins. Keep going for a full house if you like.

Tips

• For more than eight guests, print a second copy. Give matching cards to people sitting together and let them share the win.
• Ask guests to write their name on their card; it doubles as a keepsake list of who came.
• If gifts are opened later, play with the bingo cards while the cake is served and call out items from a list instead.

Printing tips

• Print at 100% or “Actual size” rather than “Fit to page”, so nothing gets trimmed.
• Everything is A4. If your printer only takes US Letter, choose “Fit to page” instead.
• Thicker paper (120–160gsm) feels nicer to write on and survives a night out; plain 80gsm is fine too.
• Black and white works: the designs are made to stay clear without colour.
