  • Print one card per player and one call sheet for whoever is calling.
  • Give each player markers such as gold star stickers or dried beans.
  • 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.

A fun way to say thank you

Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to bring a little levity to the school day, and this bingo game gives staff and students something lighthearted to share together. The word list captures the everyday moments of school life, from grading papers and hall passes to gold stars and field trips, so it resonates with anyone who has spent time in a classroom.

PTA groups can hand out cards at a staff breakfast, and classroom teachers can use the game as a fun transition activity while also reflecting on what they appreciate about school.

Make it your own

Add inside jokes from your school year, the name of your mascot, or specific traditions like a talent show or spirit week, and the cards will update immediately.
