How to Build a Bingo Flashboard

If you are hosting a Bingo party or fund-raiser, you will need a flashboard where players can view the numbers that have been called. This helps keep the game organized and will allow you to check for accurate rows once a player claims to have won Bingo. You can make your own Bingo board using a few basic items, which can save you the cost of purchasing a pre-made board from a specialty store.

Things You'll Need

Corkboard
Construction paper
Scissors
Marker
Index cards
Tacks
Easel

Instructions

- 1
  Cut out five squares of construction paper that are each about 5 inches by 5 inches. On each square, write in block letters each letter of the word "Bingo."
- 2
  Attach the five squares at the top of a corkboard, securing them in place with a tack.
- 3
  Write a series of numbers on a set of index card, using the numbers that can be called from your Bingo set.
- 4
  Place the corkboard on an easel and stack the numbers on a table near the board.
- 5
  As each number is called, tack the corresponding card under the correct letter on the corkboard, using tacks to keep the cards up.
