Emoji bingo

Emoji bingo is the quickest party game to explain: everyone already knows the pictures. The cards show 24 popular emoji each around a free space, with no words at all. The caller can say the emoji's name, describe it ("the face that is laughing so hard it cries"), or act it out for the room to guess. Download 30 different cards with a caller sheet, or pick your own emoji below.

Three ways to call

Say the emoji's name for young players. For a class or a party, describe it instead: "the face with a zipper for a mouth", "the one you send when something is hilarious". For a team night, act it out and let the room shout the answer before anyone marks it. The caller sheet lists every emoji with its picture and name.

Emoji stories

For a writing warm-up, give the winner of each round the five emoji on their line and ask for a sentence or a short story that uses them all. Pizza, rocket, ghost, crown and rainbow make a better story than you might expect.

Pick your own emoji

The form below holds the full list. Remove the ones you don't want, search for others (there are more than 1,500) and tap one to add it. Keep the cards picture-only for the full emoji effect, or switch to pictures and words for younger readers.
