Free Printable Nursery Rhymes Bingo Cards
The squares hold the titles of traditional nursery rhymes, and the caller recites a line without giving the name away. Read "The cow jumped over the moon" and players cover Hey Diddle Diddle; read "to fetch a pail of water" and they cover Jack and Jill. It suits preschool and kindergarten circle time and library story hours.
How to play nursery rhymes 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: Choose a line from the middle of each rhyme, since most titles are simply the opening words. With children under five, sing or chant the whole rhyme together after each call and add the hand motions before going on to the next one.

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.
