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.

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.
