Picture bingo

Food bingo

Food bingo works for a nutrition lesson, a cooking club, an ESL class learning the words for a menu, or just a rainy afternoon. Each card has 24 foods around a free space, from apples and carrots to pizza and ice cream, each with its picture and its name. Download 30 different cards, call the foods from the caller sheet, and check a winner by card number.

A healthy-eating lesson

Call the foods by group instead of by name: "a red fruit", "a vegetable that grows under the ground", "something made from milk". Players have to think before they mark, and the game becomes a lesson on food groups. Finish with a talk about which foods on the winning line make a good lunch.

Food words for language learners

Food is one of the first topics in any language course. Play with the words printed under the pictures first; in the next round switch the form to Pictures only, so players have to remember the word when they hear it. For a Spanish class, the Spanish bingo page has a word list to start from.

Make it a tasting game

At a party or a cooking club, put a few of the foods on a table. The winner of each round picks one to taste, or the caller hides a fruit in a bag and players guess it by touch before marking it.

Questions

How many foods are in the set?

40 foods: fruit, vegetables, breakfast and lunch foods and a few treats. Each 5x5 card shows 24 of them around a free space.

Are there cards without words?

Yes. Choose Pictures only in the form and make the cards again.

Is it free?

Yes. The cards, the caller sheet, the online caller and the winner check are free with no sign-up.
