Why We Love St. Patrick’s Day Bingo
Bingo is the perfect game to play with your family. There are so many reasons to love it!

There are so many fun ways to switch up the game play with Bingo. Use candy as markers. Your kids will love sneaking treats between rounds. Take turns being the “caller”, adding more rounds to the gameplay. See who gets the corners filled first, or create a shamrock on the board. You could even play “blackout”, though everyone will get blackout about the same time with these 8 unique boards.

How to Play St. Patrick’s Day Bingo
Bingo is easy to play, and picture-based bingo so it’s even easier!
- Download and print the bingo cards and calling cards. If you plan on playing more than once, be sure to print them on cardstock and laminate them.
- Put a bowl of markers on the table to mark off the squares. I love skittles, green pom poms, or other candies.
- Everyone gets their own bingo card, or play in teams if you want!
- Calling cards go in a bowl or in a pile face down. Choose who is going to be the caller. Be sure you are taking turns so everyone gets a turn who wants one.
- Don’t forget to mark your free space!
- The caller will choose a card, and let everyone know what it is. They can show the card, or describe the image. This is great practice for image association for kids!
- Players will place a marker on that image if it is on their board.
- The first person who gets 5 in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) yells “Bingo!” and wins that round!
- Clear your cards and play over and over again!
Tips for Using St. Patrick’s Day Bingo
- If you know you’re going to be playing this St. Patrick’s Day Bingo more than once or twice, or you are using them in your classroom, be sure to print them on cardstock and laminate them! This makes them super durable and allows you to play them over and over.
- If you do laminate them, you can use dry erase markers to mark off your board. Green would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! Or you could use rainbow colors!

Can I use these St. Patrick’s Day Bingo Cards in the classroom?
Definitely! These St. Patrick’s Day Bingo Cards would be perfect for your classroom, especially for small groups, because there are only 8 cards. You can also use them at a St. Patrick’s Day party, as long as you are playing in groups of 9 or fewer (8 boards and 1 caller).
How to Print Your St. Patrick’s Day Bingo Cards
You can absolutely print the cards on regular printer paper, but I know that my kids love playing and will want to play over and over again. I usually print my cards on cardstock and laminate them for extra durability.
You can also print the cards or calling cards in black and white to save ink. This also allows your kids to have extra practice with image recognition as they won’t have the colors to rely on.
