How it works

Labor Day bingo puts the holiday itself on the card: 24 jobs, because the day honors workers, then 24 cookout sights and 24 things from the long weekend. Cards draw from all 72 squares unless you pick a list.

Read the full guide

Call it, or spot it

For a called game, press Call the game and read out each square as the page draws it; players mark what they hold. At a cookout, play it as a spotting game: whoever sees a square says so. A row, a column or a diagonal wins, and the free center counts.

Three lists

Ready-made list splits the squares into Workers to thank, At the cookout and The long weekend, 24 each. One list fills a 5 × 5 card exactly, so every card holds the same squares in a different order.

Tips
  • With Workers to thank, a player who marks a square names someone they know who does that job.
  • Missing a job in your family? Start a new line in the word list and type it.

Questions and answers

Why are jobs on a Labor Day card?

Because the holiday is about them. Labor Day honors American workers. It falls on the first Monday in September and has been a federal holiday since 1894, which is why one square reads First Monday in September.

Is this the same as summer bingo?

No. Summer bingo is a list of things to do over ten weeks. This card is for one weekend: jobs to call out, things on the cookout table and signs that school is starting.

How many cards can I print?

Set How many cards to one for each player and use the print button. Cards dealt from all 72 squares differ from one another; cards from a list of 24 share their squares and differ in order.

Is there a blank card?

Yes. Press Empty the list, then print, for an empty grid to write on. For numbered cards, the bingo card generator deals 1 to 75.

How this list was compiled: Own work by the editors, written on 2026-09-30: 72 squares for a Labor Day cookout or class, 24 jobs, 24 cookout sights and 24 things from the long weekend. Nothing was copied from another card, and no square mentions a drink, a brand or a named person. Two facts were checked on 2026-09-30 against Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day) and the U.S. Census Bureau's Labor Day page, which quotes the Department of Labor's history of the holiday (https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/labor-day.html): Labor Day is the first Monday in September, it honors American workers, and it became a federal holiday in 1894.
