20 Fall Bingo Printables
I’ve played hundreds of bingo games over the years between our annual Christmas bingo game (my grandma started the tradition 50+ years ago) and being the room mom for classroom parties (Halloween bingo every year!) since my kids started school.
I designed these fall bingo cards with images so that they work for any age whether you’re playing them with preschoolers who can’t read or seniors. They have a variety of different fallish images on them that are easy to describe or show to players, so they can find them easily!
And since so many classes these days have 20ish kids in their classrooms, I created a free set of 20 cards available to download in this post plus an option to purchase up to 32 cards in my shop – all unique so everyone can play without any duplicate winners!
How to Prep the bingo game
Bingo is one of those games you can play every year and people don’t get sick of it. So I recommend prepping these cards like you’re going to use them over and over again! Here’s how I would do that.
- Print out two copies of the calling sheet.
- Print out the bingo cards so that everyone has their own unique card.
- Laminate all of the pages using a laminator then once they’re laminated.
- Cut out all of the individual cards.
- Cut out the individual images on one of the calling sheets and leave the other one intact. Put the individual images into a bucket of some sort.
Tip!
If you want to use these again and again, I recommend printing on white card stock then laminating. I have this laminator and these laminating pouches that I use all the time. They’re super easy to use and work great!
How to play This Fall Bingo Game
Just like any other bingo game, the goal of the game is to get a bingo by covering up five spaces in a row! You never know who is going to win – that’s the most fun part of bingo!
- Give everyone a bingo card and markers of some sort. I love using themed markers like these fall erasers but you could also just get these bingo markers that you can use for any bingo games!
- Have everyone cover the free space with a marker.
- Pick the first image out of the bucket and have everyone cover that image on their card with a marker. Put the image on the calling sheet space to keep track of what you’ve called.
- Keep picking out images, going slowly enough that people can keep up, until someone has covered up five in a row and gets a bingo.
- Double-check their bingo is accurate and let them choose a prize.
- Either keep going until a certain number of people bingo or have everyone clear cards and start again.
More ways to play bingo
One of my favorite parts of my family’s bingo night is changing up what is a “bingo” each game. We use the same cards but instead of having to get five in a row every game, we make “bingo” a different goal.
These are just a few of the different things we’ve used in the past to get a bingo:
- Four corners – cover all four corners on your card
- Postage stamp – cover any four spaces together in a square (postage stamp) on your card.
- X – cover all the spaces going both ways diagonally to make an X
- T – cover the top row and the middle row to make a T
- Cross/Plus – cover the middle horizontal row and the middle vertical row to make a plus sign
- Friendly Free – mark off all of the spaces touching the free space
- Biggest Loser – we do one of the above PLUS whoever is the last person to get a marker on the board gets the first prize
- Bring a Friend – whoever bingos gets to choose a friend to bingo with them a choose a prize (this works best if you have lots of people/prizes)
- Play until – If someone hasn’t won yet, play until that person bingos
Fall Bingo Prize ideas
Bingo isn’t fun without prizes (it really isn’t – ask anyone), so I highly recommend having some sort of prizes for the winners.
I’ve included a handful of fun fall themed prizes below starting with inexpensive ones for classroom games to medium ones for fall parties and finally a few pricier but fun options for larger things like fall festivals where you just have a few winners!
- Fall squishies (kids love these right now)

- Pumpkin spice bath bombs
- Emotional support lattes (so cute!)
- Glow in the dark football
- Football Uno game
- Cozy fall socks
- Fall charcuterie board (so cute!)
- NFL Shop gift card
- Orange gift basket (would be cute with one of these orange gift tags)
- Caramel apple fondue set
Fall Bingo FAQs
How do I play with a larger group?
If you’d like to play with a larger group, you can purchase up to 32 cards in my shop here. Or you can split up and play two different smaller games and print out the cards twice.
Do you have larger cards?
The cards available to download in this post include four to a page (to save on printing and ink costs). If you’d like larger cards for older eyes, you can purchase larger cards in packs of 12, 20, and 32 in my shop here. They are available one to a page. Make sure to choose the option for large cards in the dropdown when selecting your option.
Do these cards work for blackout games?
The images on these cards appear on all of the cards, so I do not recommend using these cards for blackout unless you want everyone to blackout at the same time. They’re great for bingo but not great for blackout.
Printing Tips
If you’re having issues with printing these cards, try choosing the scaling option when you print and scaling down to 90% to make sure the full cards print. Every printer has different settings but that often times will resolve issues you might be having!
