Opening your download

Your files arrive as a ZIP. Download it from Etsy in a web browser (on a computer is easiest), then unzip it: on most computers, double-click it; on a phone or tablet, open it in your files app and tap it. Open the PDFs from the unzipped folder, not from inside the ZIP.

Can’t find the download? On Etsy, go to Your account → Purchases and reviews, and use the Download files button on the order.

How to play bingo

  1. Give every player a card and something to mark it with (a pen, counters, or small sweets).
  2. The caller shuffles the calling cards and reads them out one at a time, keeping each one to one side.
  3. Players mark the square if it’s on their card. The centre FREE square (where there is one) is already marked.
  4. The first player to complete a line — across, down or corner to corner — calls “Bingo!”
  5. The caller checks their card against the called cards (the caller’s checklist makes this quick). If it’s right, they win.

For a longer game, play for four corners, two lines, or a full card. Every card is different, so there’s only ever one winner at a time — or occasionally two.

Picture bingo

Picture cards work the same way for children who don’t read yet: the caller holds up or names the picture, and players find it on their card.
