How to Play Dinosaur Bingo
Bingo is easy to set up and play.
- First, you will want to download and print the 8 Dinosaur Bingo Cards. You can do this at home or you can send it to your local print shop. Make sure you have printed enough for your whole group.
- Next, you will want to cut out the calling card squares. They are on the last page of the Dinosaur Bingo PDF. You may want to laminate the bingo cards as well as the calling cards so you can use them again and again without them getting damaged.
- Grab some markers to mark your bingo squares. This can be candy, cereal pieces, pom pom balls, or paper. Anything really will work.
- Give everyone a bingo card and markers.
- The caller then draws a calling card and describes and shows the pictures to those playing. If they have it on your card, you will want to mark it.
- The first player to get 5 markers in a row wins and yells “Bingo!”. These can be diagonal, horizontal, or vertical.
- After someone wins, you can clear your cards to start a new game.
- These dinosaur bingo cards are not designed to play blackout.
Tips for Using Dinosaur Bingo
- You may want to use heavier paper like cardstock when you print so they are more durable. Laminating the cards is another great option for added durability.
- Use little dinosaurs as markers to make your kids go crazy with excitement.
- You may want to give out prizes to the winners. Here are a few ideas:
- A package of Dinosaurs
- Coloring book with Dinosaur pictures
