Supplies needed for this summer bingo game:

cardstock (printer paper will also work)
bingo dot markers
paper cutter
laminator (optional)

How to set up summer bingo:

Print out the game (either in color, or black and white) we like to use cardstock, but any printer paper will work. It will print on 6 pages.

The first 5 pages are the actual summer bingo boards.

Use a laminator on these 5 bingo boards so they can be reused (optional.)

The last page is the bingo calling card that needs to be cut up. Put all the images into a bowl or bag.

Grab your paper trimmer and cut out the images (or scissors if you have a steady hand!)

How to play summer bingo with the kids?

Give each child a bingo board, there are 5 different boards included.

Give each child a pen (or if you want to make it even more special, these dot markers are just perfect for playing bingo!)

Or as it is summer why not use skittles, jelly beans, legos, or cheerios instead? It is meant to be fun and easy after all.

You then pick out a bingo calling card and read it out, if the children have that image then they mark it on their board.

The children need to get 5 in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and they can use the FREE space if they need.

The kids will also love this summer matching game.

The first person to get 5 in a row, shouts BINGO, and they are the winner.

When everyone knows the rules of the game, start playing and see who gets to shout bingo first.

We hope you and your kids have an amazing summer!
