Kids’ birthday party bingo

What’s included

• 8 different bingo cards, two to a page with a cut line
• 35 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 cards (two per page), cut them out and hand one to each child with a crayon.
2. Children cross off squares as things happen at the party.
3. The first to complete a line shouts “Happy birthday!” and wins a small prize.
4. Keep going for a full card if the party’s still in full swing.

Tips

• Read the cards aloud with younger children before you start.
• Hand them out as guests arrive: it keeps early arrivals busy.
• Give everyone a sticker at the end, not just the winner.

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.
