Summer Bingo

This summer bingo is a fun and easy way to bring a little sunshine to your summer days and next family game night. Filled with cute, colourful icons like beach balls, flip flops, popsicles, and smiling suns, it’s a simple printable game that kids will love!

Whether you’re planning a beach-themed summer party, a last-day-of-school classroom activity, a rainy day game, or an easy summer camp activity, these printable bingo cards make it simple to get everyone playing. Just print the cards, grab some markers, and start calling out the summer pictures — no complicated prep required!

 

How to play summer bingo:

1. Print the cards: Choose either the full colour or low-ink version, then print as many as you need for your group. Each player gets one bingo card.
2. Cut out the calling pieces: Print the calling card and cut out the squares. Place them in a bowl or bag to draw from.
3. Call out the images: The caller picks one image at a time and shows it to the group, calling out the word(s).
4. Mark the cards: Players cover the matching picture on their card or mark it with an “X”.
5. Win the game: The first player to get a full line (across, down, or diagonal) shouts “BINGO!” For a longer game, you can play until someone fills 2 lines or their whole card.

Helpful tips for playing summer bingo:

1. For extra durability, print the calling card on heavy cardstock so the pieces can be reused for multiple games.
2. You can use a marker or pen to check off the squares that are called, or you can place coins, candy, or buttons on them!
3. To make the cards reusable, laminate them or place them in sheet protectors and use dry-erase markers to mark off each item.

Another fun way to play:

Summer bingo doesn’t have to stay at the table! Turn it into a fun scavenger hunt by taking your cards on a walk around your home, backyard, neighbourhood, or local park. Instead of calling out images, see if you can spot them in real life — like sunglasses by the door, a beach ball in the yard, a popsicle in the freezer, or flip flops on the porch.

It’s a great way to get kids moving and adds an extra splash of summer fun to your day. You can also hide pieces of the calling card around the room, outside, or around your party area. Play until someone gets a bingo, or keep going to see who can fill their whole card first!
