How to Make a Bingo Card

Make a Bingo Card

• 1

  Create a new document in Microsoft Word or other application.

• 2

  Go to the File menu and click Page Setup to set the page to landscape orientation. Set all margins to about one-half inch.

• 3

  Go to the Format menu and click Columns (or use a similar command in other programs) to create two columns on the page.

• 4

  Go to the Table menu and click Insert Table. Make the table five columns wide and six rows (or 5 rows and 1 header) tall. Insert a table the same size in the other column of the page, so you have two bingo charts on each sheet.

• 5

  Use a large, bold font to type the letters “BINGO” at the tops of the columns, or a five-letter word that matches your bingo theme. You may also want to type the word “free” in the center square.

• 6

  Type a different number in each space of the table. You may want to use one set of numbers, such as 1 through 15, for the first column, then the next 15 numbers for the next column, and so on.

• 7

  Save the file with the bingo card. Print it on card stock and cut in half to separate the cards.

• 8

  Use the bingo card file as a template (by using the Save As command) to create more bingo cards with different combinations of numbers. Create and print at least as many cards as you have bingo players.

• 9

  Create calling cards for all the letter and number combinations (for example, B-9). You may want to print all the numbers on a sheet and cut them apart, or write the numbers by hand on small scraps of paper.
