This free printable Summer Olympics bingo game will get the whole family excited to watch the Olympic games! These sporting events take place every four years, so take advantage and support the athletes while enjoying a little friendly competition.
To make these Olympic bingo cards reusable, you can laminate them and use them over and over again. Additionally, you can use dry erase markers to play with laminated cards.
Necessary Supplies
Here’s what you’ll need to play Olympic Bingo:
- Free Printable Olympics Bingo
- Computer paper or cardstock
- Printer
- Scissors
- Stickers, markers, or coins to use as “markers” to mark the board as you go. I like to use something like coins so I can reuse the bingo cards later!
How to make Olympics bingo cards
First, print out the bingo cards and calling cards. There are 20 different bingo cards included in the PDF, so you can print out as many as you need! The last two pages of the PDF are calling cards, so you’ll want to print those out and cut out the shapes to use in your draw pile.
For a large crowd, you can gather in pairs or teams!
How to play Olympic bingo
Cut out the business cards from the last two pages of the PDF to use as a steal pile.
Give each player a bingo card along with markers, stickers, coins, or other markers! Even small candies can be used to make this bingo game a little more fun.
Place the cut-out business cards in a container. Take one at a time and show the players what you pulled out so they can mark it on their card.
The first person to get 5 Olympic icons in a row wins!
