How to play Mardi Gras bingo

  • Print one card per player and one call sheet for whoever is calling.
  • Hand out markers such as purple, green, and gold beads or plastic doubloons.
  • The caller reads words in random order and crosses them off the sheet.
  • The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal calls bingo and wins.
  • For a longer game, play four corners, a plus sign, or full blackout.

A taste of Louisiana culture

Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is the final day of celebration before Lent, especially in New Orleans, where parades, krewes, and brass bands fill the streets. This word list mixes classic parade vocabulary like Float, Beads, and Doubloons with Cajun and Creole food terms like Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Beignet, giving players a taste of the region's culture along with the game.

It's a fun way to introduce students to a tradition and geography lesson about Louisiana, or to set the mood at a King Cake party.

Make it your own

Add the name of your local parade or krewe, swap in your family's favorite Cajun recipe, or focus the list on music and dance terms if you're planning a second-line dance party.
