Print the cards, then call
These musical instrument bingo printable cards come four at a time; change How many cards for a bigger group and print. Call the game turns the page into a caller: every press of Call the next one shows one instrument to announce. A full line, with the free center, is bingo.
One family at a time
Under More options, Ready-made list holds the four lists. Pick Percussion for a card of drums, shakers and bells, or Wind and brass before a band concert. One list fills the card, so the cards then show nearly the same names in a different order.
Tips
- Sitar, Koto, Kora and ten more world instruments sit beside the keyboards, whatever family each belongs to.
- For a listening round, play a short clip of each instrument called and say nothing.
Questions and answers
Which family is the saxophone in?
The woodwinds. A saxophone is usually made of brass, but its sound starts at a single reed, as a clarinet's does. All four saxophones on this card are in the Wind and brass list.
What instruments are on the cards?
One hundred, in four lists of 25: strings such as Cello and Hurdy-gurdy, wind and brass such as Piccolo and Flugelhorn, percussion such as Glockenspiel and Guiro, and keyboards and world instruments such as Celesta and Kalimba.
Is this the same as music bingo with songs?
No. Every square here is an instrument, and no song, band or performer is named. For cards made from your own song list, paste the titles into the music bingo card generator.
Can I print orchestra instruments only?
Not with one pick. Under More options, select the lines you do not want in Word list, one per line and delete them; the cards are dealt again from what is left.
