How do I make bingo cards?

Pick your own words, the numbers 1 to 75, or a range. For words, paste at least as many as one card holds: 24 for a 5 by 5 card with a free space. Choose how many cards and how many per page, add a title, and download the PDF with the cards and a call sheet at the end.

  1. Choose words or numbers.
  2. Paste the words, at least one card's worth.
  3. Set the number of cards and cards per page.
  4. Keep the free space and call sheet if you want them.
  5. Download and print.

How many words do I need for bingo?

At least one card's worth: 8 for a 3 by 3 card with a free space, 16 for 4 by 4, and 24 for 5 by 5 with a free space. More words make cards less alike, so fewer players reach bingo at the same moment.

How many different bingo cards are there?

For standard 75-ball cards, with five numbers from each column's 15 and a free center, there are 552,446,474,061,128,648,601,600,000 possible cards, about 5.5 x 10^26. So a set of 500 from this generator never needs to repeat; each new card is checked against the ones already made.

How do I call bingo?

Use the call sheet at the end of the PDF. For word bingo it lists every word once, shuffled; read them out and tick each one. For number bingo, the calling board lists 1 to 75 under B-I-N-G-O so you can cross off numbers, with a random calling order printed below. Check a winning card against the ticks.

Limits

  • Text only on the cards for now, no pictures.
  • Up to 500 cards per set; large sets take a little longer to make.
  • 90-ball tickets (the UK 9 by 3 layout) are not offered; use a number range for a simple 1 to 90 card.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes, with no card limit below 500, no sign-up and no watermark.

Can I make baby shower or holiday bingo?

Yes. Pick the Shower design, paste words that fit the theme and type the title on the card. For gift bingo, choose Blank squares so guests write the gifts they expect.

Are there large print cards?

Yes. The Large Print design sets numbers and words in big, heavy type with thick lines, and one card a page gives the biggest squares.

Can I print one card per page?

Yes. Choose 1 per page for large cards.

Will the same set print again?

Yes. Your set is saved in this browser; press Shuffle all cards only when you want new ones.
