Alphabet bingo is fun for kids of all ages. It is the perfect way to introduce your kids to letter recognition that combines learning and fun. Just download, print, and play in minutes.
Alphabet Bingo
Preschoolers love to play games, and as a mom, I love to encourage learning at the same time. That is why I am a huge fan of this alphabet bingo game. It combines learning and fun into one fun activity that the whole family enjoys playing together.
It is so easy to play. All you have to do is print the alphabet bingo cards, laminate them, cut out the calling cards, and you are ready to begin. Draw one of the calling cards out of the mixed up pieces and announce the letter to everyone playing. More advanced preschoolers can look for the letter on their own and mark it with a marker. For younger kids, don’t forget to show them the letter so they can look for the corresponding letter on their game board.
With every round your preschooler will become more and more confident with the alphabet.
If your family or students love bingo as much as we do, be sure to grab our Valentine’s Bingo, Halloween Bingo, and Fall Bingo as well. Try them at your next gathering or just on a fun afternoon activity. These are the perfect addition to school parties.
How to Play Alphabet Bingo
Looking for a fun and easy game to play, look no further than Alphabet Bingo.
- You will need to first download the 8 Alphabet Bingo Cards. You will then want to print them on regular paper. Printing them on cardstock is a great option. We even laminate them so we can use them over and over. You can print the PDF at home or at your neighborhood print shop, whichever is easier for you.
- You will find the calling card squares on the last page of the PDF. Don’t forget to print and cut them out. Once cut, we usually laminate them for added durability.
- Grab some objects to mark each square. If the cards are laminated, you can use dry-erase markers. These will wipe clean. You can also use small candies, cereal pieces, pom pom balls, or whatever else you have on hand. Just be sure each player has enough markers to get a bingo.
- Your caller will then get to draw from the calling cards pile, bowl, or bag; they will say the letter or say the letter sound on the card.
- The first player to get 5 markers in a row wins, diagonal, horizontal, or vertical, and yells “Bingo” to win the game.
- Once someone wins, you can clear the boards and start the game over.
Tips for Using Alphabet Bingo
- Print on cardstock and laminate for added durability.
- Use alphabet bingo in many different ways. For beginners, say the letter and show the picture, for more advanced players just say the letter; for advanced learners, say the sound and have them find the letter on their board that makes that sound.
- It would be fun to use letters as markers and see if they can match the letter on the card with the letter marker.
- You could use pictures of animals that start with a letter on the cards to see if they can match the letters to the animal.
