St. Patrick’s Day Bingo

One of my boys’ favorite things to do is play bingo. Whether it’s Christmas bingo, Valentine’s Day bingo, or this St. Patrick’s Day bingo – he just loves to play! We even bought him this Zingo game (one of our favorite board games for kids) so we can play bingo when it’s not a holiday!

I thought it would be fun to make free printable bingo cards that both young children through adults can play and these image based bingo cards are perfect because even young kids can pick out matching images on a page!

This St. Patrick’s Day bingo game is the perfect game for a classroom party on March 17th, a St. Patrick’s Day party for kids, or honestly you could even play it with adults. I mean cute little St. Patrick’s Day images are really no different than numbers and adults (and seniors!) LOVE playing regular bingo.

Or skip the bingo for the adults and try one of these St. Patrick’s Day party games instead!

It’s just another holiday and another reason to play bingo – I’ll take any excuse I can get! I hope this becomes on of your favorite St. Patrick’s Day activities!

Playing St. Patrick’s Day bingo is just the same as playing any other bingo game and super easy!

1 – Print and cut the St. Patricks Day Bingo Cards

First, you need to print out the downloadable St. Patrick’s Day bingo cards at the bottom of this post. There are options to download both a pack of 16 and a pack of 40!

Download the cards at the bottom of this post. Or you can purchase them right now in my shop. Once they’re downloaded, print and cut out one per person. You can print some extras so people have more choices if you want!

Once they’re printed, cut them out – four to a page. I recommend printing on white card stock and cutting with a sharp pair of scissors to get the most straight lines possible!

2 – Print and Prep the Calling Key

Print out two sheets of the master image page (aka calling cards).

Cut up one of the master images so that you have the images to pick from and keep the other intact so you can keep track of which images have been called (to verify the winner).

If you have a laminator, I really do recommend laminating both the small cut out pieces (that you’ll pull out to call) and the master card to keep it year after year.

3 – Get your bingo markers

Get something for players to use as markers. I recommend these bingo markers if you want to use them over and over again or you can do something St. Patrick’s Day like these rainbow erasers.

Or just buy a box of Lucky Charms or bag of Skittles or other green candies and use those instead – anything works as long as they fit on the spaces. If you’re using something edible, make sure to give people extras – they will eat them!

I don’t recommend using the dot markers because they make it so you can’t reuse the cards again. They work great for things like cruise ships or one-time bingo games, but I assume you’re planning to use the cards again or at least more than one game this year, so dot markers aren’t my favorite.

4 – Pick Some Prizes

Last but not least – pick out a couple of prizes for the winners. I have suggestions below depending on if you’re playing in large groups, small groups, etc. You could do something as simple gold coins or something more extravagant like clover socks!

This St. Patrick’s Day bingo game is played just like any traditional bingo game – just with St. Patrick’s Day images instead of numbers. It’s luckily not quite as complicated as my Christmas movie bingo!

When you’re ready to play, either hand out a game board (aka bingo card) to each player or if they’re feeling lucky, let them pick their own from the game set. It really doesn’t matter as much with this as it does say with this Oscars bingo game where people want to choose a card based on who they think will win!

Choose someone to be the caller or just do it yourself. I recommend you do it at least the first round so people can see how it works.

Once everyone has their card and some markers, have everyone cover the free space in the middle with a marker. This is just a bonus free space to get people started.

Then start picking images one by one and calling them out, and showing them as well if people are confused about which one it is. I tried to make the images on the bingo markers unique enough that you could describe what it was without any confusion but hey, you never know.

Once you’ve called an image, make sure to mark it off on your master list as well so if someone gets a little bit confused on what has been called, you can check the master calling sheet first thing! If you’re playing with kids of all ages, I recommend having parents around to help the littlest kiddos find the images!

Keep calling images until someone gets a bingo – five across horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Verify that they did in fact get a bingo and let them choose a prize!

This is a really fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and a great idea for changing up bingo night during the month of March, especially if you play on actual St. Patty’s Day!

This list includes both smaller items and bigger items depending on what type of bingo you’re playing and how many people will win. If you’re playing during a St. Patrick’s Day classroom party, it might be best to do something smaller like the sunglasses or even these stickers.

If you’re only doing a few winners and it’s really lucky to win, I’d go with one of the bigger prizes! These prizes are all specific to St. Patrick’s Day but you could always do something like a gift card to an Irish restaurant, a gift basket of Irish movies, or really anything else you can think of!
