Free Printable Day of the Dead Bingo Cards
Día de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday of remembrance, observed on November 1 and 2, when families welcome back the spirits of loved ones with altars, flowers, food and stories. This card teaches the vocabulary of the celebration: the caller reads a word, explains what it means, and players cover it.
How to play day of the dead bingo
- Set the number of players, then press Print or save as PDF. Each player gets a different card.
- Call items in random order with the built-in caller, or use the printed call list.
- Players mark each called square. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"
Tip: Pair the game with building a class or family ofrenda and point to each object as its word is called. Present the day as its own tradition of honoring ancestors with color and joy, separate from Halloween, and say the Spanish words aloud together.

Questions and answers
Are the bingo cards really free?
Yes. You can print up to 10 unique cards per game at no cost, as often as you like, without creating an account. The optional Unlimited Pass is for larger groups.
How do I save the cards as a PDF?
Press "Print or save as PDF". In the print window choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. On a phone, use the share or print option in the preview that opens.
Is every card different?
Yes. Each card is shuffled separately from your list, so players cannot all win at the same time. The more items your list has beyond the number of squares, the more the cards differ.
Can I use my own words?
Yes. Replace the list with your own words or phrases, one per line. A 5×5 card with a free space needs at least 24 items, a 4×4 card needs 16 and a 3×3 card needs 8.
What paper should I use?
Normal printer paper works. Card stock lasts longer if you plan to reuse the cards. The layout fits both US Letter and A4.
