Free Printable Presidents Day Bingo Cards
Presidents Day bingo is a simple way to review U.S. presidents without turning the lesson into a lecture.
This printable works especially well when you want students recognizing names and faces, talking about what they already know, and staying engaged long enough to actually finish the activity.
Each bingo board features illustrated portraits of American presidents rather than words alone, which helps visual learners and makes the game accessible even if students don’t know every name yet.
I’ve found it works best as a short social studies center, a whole-class review game, or a low-prep activity during the week of Presidents’ Day.
The set includes multiple unique bingo boards and a calling card, so it’s easy to use with small groups or an entire class without extra prep.

What’s Included in the President Bingo Set?
This Presidents’ Day printable bingo cards include multiple unique bingo boards along with a matching calling card, making it easy to use with small groups or an entire class.
Each square features an illustrated portrait of a U.S. president rather than text alone, which helps students focus on face recognition and name familiarity.
The game works best for elementary-aged students who have already been introduced to at least a few presidents and benefit from visual reinforcement rather than heavy reading.
Because the boards are different, everyone can play at the same time without duplicating cards, whether you’re using this in a classroom, homeschool co-op, or at home.
The bingo set includes 24 U.S. presidents, ranging from early leaders such as John Quincy Adams and Andrew Johnson to modern presidents including Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden.
How to Play Presidents’ Day Bingo
This game follows standard bingo rules, with U.S. presidents replacing numbers. It works best with small groups or a whole class where students can clearly see or hear the name being called.
Give each player one bingo card and a set of bingo markers. One person acts as the caller and randomly draws a president from the calling cards, saying the name aloud. Players check their boards and mark the matching portrait if it appears.
The first player to complete five spaces in a row, across, down, or diagonally, and call out “Bingo” wins. For longer play or review sessions, you can reset and use alternative patterns such as an X, a box, or a full board.
This format keeps the pace moving while giving students repeated exposure to presidential names and faces.
