How to Play Your Free Printable St. Patrick’s Day Bingo
Getting Set Up
Print out enough bingo cards so each player gets one. Then, cut out the calling cards and toss them into a bowl or container for easy shuffling. If you’re using the included gold coin tokens, cut those out too, or grab something festive (see below for suggestions.)
Game Instructions
Print & Play: Download and print your game cards. Each player needs their own card, and you’ll also need the call sheet. This set includes 10 unique cards, so up to 10 people can join in on the fun!
Set Up the Calling Cards: Cut out each image from the call sheet and drop them into a festive container. To make it extra fun, use a small pot, a leprechaun hat, or a glittery gold bucket as your draw bowl.
Hand Out the Cards: Give each player a unique bingo card and make sure everyone has their markers ready. You can use the included tokens, or mix it up with lucky charms cereal, plastic gold coins, green jelly beans, or clover confettifor a fun twist.
Let the Bingo Fun Begin!
The game host (a.k.a. the “caller”) will randomly pull an icon from the pot and announce it. Players check their cards and place a marker on the matching image.
Winning the Game: To win, a player needs to complete a row, column, or diagonal on their bingo card. When they do, they shout “Bingo!”—or keep it festive by calling out “Lucky Me!” or “Pot of Gold!” instead. It’s the perfect way to add a little extra festivities to your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations!
What’s Included
10 Unique Cards: Each card features a grid filled with lucky St. Patrick’s Day icons, including pots of gold, leprechaun hats, shamrocks, rainbows, and horseshoes. The free space in the center gives players an extra chance to win, making the game even more exciting!
Calling Cards: The set includes a full page of calling cards featuring all the same icons from the grids. This makes it easy for the host to draw and announce each symbol. Just cut them out, shuffle them up, and get ready to play!
Shamrock Tokens: To add a festive touch, the set comes with shamrock-shaped tokens for marking spaces on the cards. These lucky green tokens match the St. Patrick’s Day theme perfectly, giving your game a fun and cohesive look.
