Call a clue for each square
A teacher sets How many cards to the class size and presses the print button: no two cards match. Press Call the game, then Call the next one, and read the clue under each call. A sprig of young clover is Shamrock. Four in a line win: a row, a column or corner to corner.
Three lists, and a bigger card
Under More options, a teacher can pick Symbols and stories, Ireland or The day itself in Ready-made list, or press 5 × 5 for an older class. On 5 × 5 one list fills the card, so every card holds nearly the same squares in a different order.
Tips
Céilí is said KAY-lee and uilleann is said ILL-in; both clues say so.
The Ireland list works as a geography warm-up: Dublin, the River Shannon and the Cliffs of Moher are on it.

How this list was compiled: Written for this site by the editors on 2026-10-02 as a St. Patrick's Day word list for a class; nothing was copied from another bingo card or hunt list. Each of the three lists holds 25 squares, enough to fill a 4 x 4 card with squares to spare and a 5 x 5 card by itself. No drink is on any square, and no brand, team or living person is named. Saint Patrick appears as a plain fact of history, and the leprechaun as a figure of Irish folklore. The line beside each square is a clue for the caller. Clues that state a fact were checked on 2026-10-02 against the English Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day (March 17, the public holiday, parades and festivals, green ribbons and shamrocks worn since at least the 1680s, blue and the Order of St Patrick of 1783, the green harp flag of the 1640s, the first parade in Ireland at Waterford in 1903, landmarks lit green since 2010, Irish language week, the Chicago River dyed green), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock (a sprig of young clover, a symbol of Ireland), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun (a shoemaker with a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, fond of practical jokes, dressed in red in the older stories), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-leaf_clover , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Ireland (a gold harp with silver strings on blue), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland (green, white and orange), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick (fifth century, patron saint of Ireland with Brigid and Columba), and the articles Celtic knot, Dublin, River Shannon, Cliffs of Moher, Aran jumper, Tin whistle, Fiddle, Bodhrán, Uilleann pipes, Irish stepdance, Jig, Cèilidh, Soda bread, Irish stew, Colcannon, Irish Wolfhound, Connemara pony, Hurling, Gaelic football, Thatching and Peat, each at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ followed by its title. The plan also named Britannica; that site refused our requests on 2026-10-02, so no fact here rests on it. Squares of the third list that are things to wear, eat or make describe the thing and state no outside fact. The ways to win (a row, a column or a diagonal) were checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bingo_(American_version) on 2026-10-02. Licence: own work
