Free Printable Nurses Week Bingo Cards

Written for the unit break room during National Nurses Week, May 6 to 12, this card celebrates the small good things in a shift. Nurses and other unit staff mark a square when they see one happen, such as a thank-you card from a family, a smooth handoff or a teammate offering help. A completed line goes to the charge nurse or manager for a prize.

    How to play nurses week bingo

    1. Set the number of players, then press Print or save as PDF. Each player gets a different card.
    2. Call items in random order with the built-in caller, or use the printed call list.
    3. Players mark each called square. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"

    Tip: Print separate stacks for day and night shift so everyone gets a fair chance, and let the cards run all week so nobody feels rushed. Good prizes are things nurses use: quality pens, badge reels, compression socks and coffee gift cards.

    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.
