Dog, farm or pet bingo from one list

For a dog bingo printable, pick Dog breeds in Ready-made list; for a farm bingo printable, Farm animals; for a pet bingo printable, Pets. Each list holds exactly 24, so at 5 × 5 every card carries the same animals in a different order. Set Grid to 4 × 4 and the cards differ.

  • Turn each call into a quiz with the fact under it. What is a group of flamingos called? A flamboyance.
  • Breed names run long. On a phone the 4 × 4 grid gives Pembroke Welsh Corgi more room.
  • For your own, press Enter after any animal in the word list and type: the family dog, the heron at the pond.

Questions and answers

How many animals does a set of cards need?

A 5 × 5 card with a free center takes 24. With exactly 24 on the list, every card holds the same animals in a different order, so several players can finish on the same call. Forty or more spreads the wins out.

Are the dog breed names official?

They follow the American Kennel Club's spelling, checked on its breed list on September 18, 2026, which is why the card says German Shepherd Dog and Saint Bernard. Each breed's line gives its AKC group, and the 24 cover all seven groups.

Where do group names like a tower of giraffes come from?

From Wikipedia's list of animal names, checked on September 18, 2026. Many of these collective nouns are old or playful: a crash of rhinos, a business of ferrets, a loveliness of ladybugs. Few people use them outside a quiz, so they make good caller questions.

How this list was compiled: Written for this page: 120 animals in five sets of 24 (pets, dog breeds, farm, zoo, garden), so that any one set fills a card on its own. Words only, every square 30 characters or fewer, and the garden set names animals of North American yards. Dog breed names and their groups follow the American Kennel Club's breed list (https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/) and its sheet AKC Breeds Broken Out By Group, revised March 10, 2026 (https://www.akc.org/akc-breeds-by-group/), both checked on September 18, 2026. The words for young, males, females and groups come from Wikipedia's List of animal names (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_names), checked the same day; many of those group words are old or playful and are rarely used outside a quiz. Every other fact line was checked on September 18, 2026 against the Wikipedia article for that animal, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinea_pig, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ostrich and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae. An animal with no line had no fact that could be confirmed in one sentence. Win rules on the page follow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_%28American_version%29, checked on September 18, 2026.
