A Halloween bingo game is a great way to get people of all ages involved in the one Halloween activity
. You can find commercial Halloween bingo games or you can find games online to print out. It is much more fun though to create your own game of Halloween bingo.You can choose to create your game on the computer using a word processor or you might choose to make one by hand using card.
There are two different types that you can make. You can have a Halloween bingo game that uses Halloween words or you can have a game that uses pictures. If you are going to use words you will need a list of at least twenty Halloween words. You then make cards that have a grid on them. The grid can be a 3 x 3 grid or a 3 x 4 grid. The words are then written in the grids with one word in each space. Make sure each bingo card has a unique combination of words.
You will also need to have all of the words written on individual cards and then placed in a bowl. A plastic pumpkin bowl or a plastic caldron are ideal for this. The caller will pick cards from the bowl and call out the word on the card.
As a word is called, the player covers the word if it is on their card. Counters or buttons can be used to cover the word. The first player to cover all of their words is the winner. Traditionally this person would call out, Bingo!' but in a Halloween bingo game a different word can be chosen. You might like to make the bingo word, Boo' or spooky' instead.
The other style of Halloween bingo that you can make is a picture bingo game. You will need a collection of Halloween pictures to make this game. You can find these on the internet and print them out. Alternatively, an easy way to create these cards is with Halloween stickers. Purchase sets of stickers with multiple copies of each picture and stick them onto Bingo cards. Remember to set one of each aside to go onto the cards for the caller to draw out. The caller can either say the name of the picture or can show the picture as it is drawn out of the bowl.
All ages can play a Halloween bingo game so it is great for Halloween parties of mixed ages. The little kids and the big kids can all play together. Why not get the adults to join in also!
