Picture bingo is a little bit different from “regular” bingo. When I first started making picture bingo cards, my husband was really hung up on the lack of a container full of numbered balls! He just didn’t understand how you could play bingo without them. He kept trying to come up with ways to print stickers and put them on ping pong balls or something. I told him no body has time for that!
Luckily, playing picture bingo is easy and there are no spinning baskets of plastic balls required. Each set of printables comes with a call sheet that you can cut up to make pieces of paper to pull out of a bowl or basket.
To save time, you can also call randomly straight off the printed page. Make a little tic mark to denote which pictures you’ve already called.
This St. Pat’s bingo has a pool of extra images, which means you can’t use as single bingo card to call the pictures. Each single card does not have all the possible images on it.

I love to print my bingo cards on something called presentation paper. It’s a heavyweight paper with a special coating for crisp, vibrant images. If I’m going to use my colored ink, I want it to look fantastic!
Regular cardstock works, too, but the ink sinks in a bit so the pictures aren’t as nice.
The difference is more obvious in real life, but the mermaid bingo card on the left in the photo was printed on presentation paper. The card on the right twas printed on cardstock.
To reuse your bingo cards time and again, laminate them or place them in a dry erase pocket.
Taking your pages to a copy shop or office supply store for lamination adds up quick (I used to work at a copy center – you’re going to pay at least a dollar per page for lamination). That’s why I bought my own inexpensive home lamination machine.
Now I can quickly and easily laminate my own pages at home. It costs less per page after about 25 uses and I don’t have to chase my toddler around the store while she tries to grab scissors off the displays (why do they always go for the most dangerous thing they see???)
- Laminates documents up to 9 inches wide; compatible with letter, legal, business-card, and photo-size papers
- Works with any 3 mil or 5 mil laminating pouch; note: mil refers to thickness of lamination film
- 2 heat settings: 3mil (best for normal documents, photos, and card stock) and 5mil (best for thinner papers)
To make your bingo games even more fun, use small prizes as bingo markers. Small erasers work really well. Since this is St. Pat’s bingo, gold coins are another great option! If you give your kids candy, Skittles or small gold foil wrapped candies also make fun St. Patrick’s Day bingo markers.
