Happy Monday everyone! Now that June has arrived, I’m sure that many of you have little ones at home, now that they are done school for the summer. I’m also willing to bet that before you know it that dreaded phrase will be coming out of their mouth…”I’m bored.” Well, today I’ve got a customizable bingo printable for you that will hopefully help you to stave off that boredom for at least a little while.
This template makes it super easy to create your own bingo card. Just open up the template and decorate it with your favorite Trixie Scraps kit. Simply click on the image below to download.
Now the thing about bingo cards, it that they can be used in a variety of ways. Sure there is the old standby with numbers listed on the card being called out one at a time. That’s all well and good, and the card here can certainly be used for that purpose, but it does require some adult attention for calling out those numbers. My favorite way to use a bingo card is to turn it into a sort of scavenger hunt. On each square either list an item (or have a picture of the item if the little ones aren’t reading on their own yet), and set them loose to find the items. This can be done around the home on a rainy day, in the yard on a sunny day, heck, you could even laminate the card and take it on a day trip with you to the beach or the park. These cards are also ideal for car trips. Planning a long road trip this summer? Make each square a licence plate from a different state on or near your route.
Here’s one I made using Summer Lovin’.
Since you are likely want to print these cards at home, I’ve included both 12×12 and 8.5×11 size formats in the downloadable file.
Hope these help you survive the summer. Be sure to share any bingo card creations made using Trixie Scraps products with us in the gallery.

Thanks so much! We are actually taking a summer break from homeschooling official, but this will be fun for my blossoming reader to have for words, and to keep my elementary kids math skills sharp over the summer. I can’t wait to play with it a bunch! Great idea. 🙂
