Prepare the Boards and Calling Cards

Choose the PDF size that matches your paper: A4 or US Letter. Print in portrait orientation at actual size / 100%. The complete six-page pack contains four player boards, one calling-card sheet and one illustrated guide. Use either the complete pack or the separate files below; printing both would duplicate the pages.

Keep all four player boards whole. Cut the calling sheet around its outer edge and along the shared straight grid lines to make twelve 43 × 58 mm cards. Give each of two to four players a different numbered board. Have a pencil ready, or supervise loose paper counters if you prefer reusable boards. No separate counters are included in the PDFs.

Meet the Twelve Pictures

The calling pictures show car, bus, train, truck, excavator, fire engine, ambulance, bicycle, airplane, sailboat, helicopter and hot air balloon. The red fire engine has a ladder; the ambulance is white with a blue cross. The yellow excavator has a digging arm and tracks, while the green truck has a flat bed. Point out these features before play if a child is still deciding which vehicle name goes with which picture. Each numbered board uses nine of these twelve pictures in a different arrangement, so some calls will be absent from an individual board.

Call, Mark and Check a Line

Shuffle all twelve calling cards face down. The caller turns over one card, shows the picture and says its name. Players mark that same picture if it appears on their own board. If it is absent, they wait for the next call. Leave called cards face up so everyone can check them.

Actual bingo printable: call, mark and check a line.

Three marked pictures in a straight line win: horizontally, vertically or diagonally. There is no free middle square. For example, on board 1 the diagonal from top left through the center to bottom right is airplane, train and truck. All three must have been called; a mark in another square does not complete that diagonal. The illustrated guide shows this exact line.

When someone calls bingo, compare each picture in their claimed line with the face-up calling cards. If two players finish on the same call, share the win. For a new round, erase pencil marks or remove counters, gather all twelve calling cards and shuffle again.

Choose a Relaxed First Round

Show a calling picture for as long as the group needs and help match it by shape and details. This keeps the game usable for children who do not read the labels yet. A caller and one player can use a single board for a quiet version; with more players, use the four different boards rather than several copies of the same arrangement.

Store the twelve calling cards with the uncut boards. Before packing away, count the cards so a missing picture does not silently prevent a line in the next game.
