Make and print 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5 bingo boards with your choice of images or text.
Fill 9+ fields for your bingo board (16+ for 4x4 boards, 25+ for 5x5 boards.) Then, click 'Make it!' For large image lists, you can just type the word you'd like and it should come up.
You can also hit the 'tab' key to move to the next field. See below for more information on how to use this application.
Select your image category:
Auto-Fill Images:
Need more boards? This maker will generate your requested number of unique bingo boards. If you need more boards,
you can click the reload button at the top of the browser or just refresh the browser to get a whole new set of unique boards.
The more options you provide, the more unique your individual boards will be.
How to use the bingo maker
Max limits:
- Image mode will allow up to 30 images to be selected and used in your boards.
- Text mode will allow you to add up to 80 entries.
(You must add the minimum needed to make your selected style board.)
Copy & Paste Lists:
- In text mode, there is a blue button labeled 'Copy & Paste Lists'. You can use this to skip the user interface and directly type in your entries. You can do this as comma separated lists or as one item per line.
- You can also easily copy and save your work to a file on your computer via this option. Then, in reverse, you can also paste that list directly into the maker in the future.
Add a 'free' space in the center:
- I made this an optional check box feature. You can use this if that's something that you'd like. It is turned off by default, so you will need to check the box to activate this feature.
- It's available for 5x5 AND 3x3 boards, because ... why not? I don't use or recommend the free space for 3x3 boards, but someone might want to for whatever their intended use is. So, I made the option available.
Using Auto-Fill: This will do exactly what you imagine. It will select 10, 12, 15, ... random images from your current category. You can change or delete any of these selected items. This is a quick way to make bingo boards on any theme.
Printing: The 3x3 boards will generate 4 boards per page. The 4x4 boards will print as 2 per page. The 5x5 boards will print one board per page. I designed it this way to save paper and print as many boards as possible on one page. (If you need less than 8 boards, use your print preview window options to just print the first or first few pages to print less boards.)
Math, Science, Social Studies bingo boards? The text mode can handle special characters and foreign script. Use this to create math bingo boards with equations or answers to equations. Add answers or science questions into your bingo boards, and then play bingo in a Jeopardy style classroom activity. These are simple and flexible with many ways these can be used.
