What you can do with a blank card
Write your own numbers for a classic game, spelling words for a class, inside jokes for a party, or chores for a week at home. A blank sheet also works as a prize card: players fill in squares as they finish tasks, and a full row earns the reward. Kids can draw pictures in the squares instead of writing.
Filling it in by hand
For a number game, keep to the column ranges: B gets 1 to 15, I 16 to 30, N 31 to 45, G 46 to 60 and O 61 to 75, five numbers per column and four in N around the free space. For a word game, make a list first and have each player copy words onto their card in any order. If players fill their own cards, every card comes out different without any extra work for you.
Which size to pick
The 5x5 card is the standard and fits 24 words plus the free space. A 4x4 card takes 16 squares and plays a little faster. A 3x3 card has only 9 squares: good for preschool, short word lists and games that end in minutes.
Rather type than write?
Handwriting 30 cards takes a long time. In the generator you type or paste your words once and get up to 500 different cards as a PDF, 3x3 to 7x7, with a caller sheet on page one and a winner check by card number. It is free and needs no sign-up.
Printing tips
Print one big card a page for small children or for a card on the wall, and 4 a page to save paper for a big group. Cut along the lines, and slip cards into plastic sleeves if you want to play with dry-erase markers and reuse them. Card stock lasts longer than plain paper if you play every week.

Questions
Is the blank bingo card template free?
Yes. Download the PDF and print as many copies as you need. There is no sign-up and nothing to buy.
Can I edit the bingo card template online?
Yes. Instead of the blank PDF, open the generator on the home page, type your words or numbers and download filled cards. Every card comes out different.
What size is a standard bingo card?
A standard bingo card is a 5x5 grid with the letters B-I-N-G-O over the columns and a free space in the centre, so it holds 24 numbers or words.
How do I make a bingo board in Google Docs or Word?
You can insert a 5x5 table and type into it, but every card is then a copy you edit by hand. A generator is quicker when you need many different cards: you enter the list once and it shuffles it for each card.
Can I print it on A4 paper?
Yes. Each download comes as Letter or A4, so it fits your printer without scaling.
