Free Printable First Grade Sight Words Bingo Cards
Words such as "could", "every", "know" and "once" are hard to sound out, so first graders need to recognize them on sight. In this game the caller reads a word from the list and students cover it on their cards. The list is taken from the Dolch first grade words and repeats nothing from the kindergarten set, so the two games can be used one after the other.
How to play first grade sight words 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: Pairs that look alike, such as "them" and "then" or "how" and "know", are worth calling back to back so students check every letter. As a center activity, let a student be the caller and read from the printed call list.

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.
