Supplies Required
- Bingo Markers – see the suggested marker options below
For bingo cards that can be enjoyed year after year, laminating them is a great idea.
If you prefer not to laminate the cards, Dot Markers are an excellent choice for this game.
Bingo Marker Choices
Candy Choices: M&M’s
Non-Candy Choices: Pom-poms, buttons, pumpkin seeds, corn kernels, or confetti leaves
Pencil or Markers: Kids may cross out each space with a pencil, marker, or dot marker. If the cards are laminated, dry-erase markers are also suitable.
How to Organize a Turkey Bingo Game
Start by printing the bingo cards and calling card sheet (you’ll find the free printable below).
1. Cut apart the calling cards and place them in a bowl or jar.
2. Separate the bingo cards. Hand one card to each participant. If more than 10 children are playing, arrange them in small groups and have them share cards.
3. Select candy or non-candy items to use as markers. Whenever an image is called, players cover the matching picture with one marker.
4. Announce each image – describe it aloud or hold up the corresponding card. Since some turkey pictures come in different colors, calling out “purple turkey” or displaying the card makes it easier for children to find the correct space.
5. Play for one line (5 spaces in a row) or a full card. The first person to complete a line should call “Bingo!” If you have extra prizes, keep playing to find additional lines. There are 30 calling cards, so a full-card game may produce several winners at the same time, especially with a larger group. For that reason, playing for lines is usually best. After several lines are completed, mix up the calling cards and start a new round.
How Do I Play With a Larger Group?
This set includes 10 unique cards. When more than 10 players want to participate, split them into groups of 2–3 and let each group play together. You can also hand out duplicate cards, which makes it possible for several players to win at once.
Printing the Bingo Cards
Always look over the Print Preview before printing. Since printer settings differ, choose “Print to Fit to Size” or check the printer’s Scale Features (you may select 90% scale) to keep the card edges from being trimmed.
