15 Fun Bingo Variations to Try

Speed bingo

Call as fast as players can keep up, on 3x3 cards. Rounds last about a minute, which suits large groups and short breaks.

Reverse bingo

Everyone starts in the game. When one of your squares is called you are out, and the last player standing wins.

Scavenger hunt bingo

Instead of calling items, players find them around a room, a park or a museum. It works for field trips and nature walks.

Other twists

• Musical bingo with song clips
• Human bingo, where players find people who match squares
• Picture bingo for pre-readers
• Challenge bingo, where each square is an activity to complete
• Team bingo, where tables share a card
