A grown-up calls, players mark
Choose the number of players in How many cards and print. Call the game opens the caller; with each press of Call the next one, read the square out twice. Five in a line win, and the center is free. For the youngest players, switch Grid to 3 × 3 under More options.
Fairies only, or tales only
Under More options, Ready-made list deals one list at a time. Fairies and the fairy garden makes a fairy party card, and Things from the old tales makes a fairytale bingo printable for story time. One list fills the card, so the cards share nearly all their squares.
Tips
- After a call from the old tales, ask which story it comes from before anyone marks.
- Crayons make good markers: players color a square in when it is called.
Questions and answers
What is on the fairy bingo cards?
Three lists of 25 squares: fairy things such as Toadstool house and Firefly lantern, things from old tales such as Glass slipper and Magic beans, and forest folk such as Troll under a bridge and Three bears.
Does the card name a film or a character?
No. Every square is a thing, a place or a creature of the kind traditional tales are full of, such as a spindle or a giant. No film, show or named character is on the card.
Are there pictures on the cards?
The cards are words only, so each player reads or sits beside a reader. Giving the first letter of a square helps a new reader find it.
Which card goes with a unicorn party?
Unicorn bingo is a card of its own, with a clue for the caller to read. Fairy bingo and unicorn bingo share almost no squares, so both can be played at one party.
