  1. Step 1 Cerca un generatore di cartelle per il bingo.
    Some of the best-known sites are OSRIC, Print-Bingo and Bingobaker.Use the one that best meets your needs.Some require registration to use the tools, others require a fee.However, you will also find many that allow you to create cards without having to provide any personal information.[1] [2] [3]
  2. Step 2 Decidi che tipo di informazioni inserire in ciascuna casella.
    There are specific generators that allow you to create cards with images, while others only accept words that you can enter with the keyboard.[4] [5] [6]
  3. Step 3 Scrivi il nome della cartella e le parole che userai.
    The first box that appears in the generator will usually be "Card Title" or something similar.Click on the text field and enter the name you want to give to the card.Some examples are "Paolo's bingo card" or "Civil Protection volunteers' bingo tournament".[7] [8] [9]
    • Once you enter your name, you'll find a box titled something like "Word List."Click on that field and write the list of words/numbers/symbols, with each entry separated by a comma.The generator will randomly distribute them in the various boxes.
    • For example:“Bat, bird, turtle, deer, hippopotamus, dog, cat, bear, lion, etc.”You can also do the same with numbers (3, 5, 17, 24, 56, 78) and symbols ($, &, *, %, @).
    • If you prefer you can also create a combination of words, numbers and symbols.For example:“bat, turtle, 67, %, &, 76, 48, #, hippopotamus, tiger.”
  4. Step 4 Decidi se assegnare uno spazio libero.
    On many bingo cards there is usually a "free space", in which players can place a marker before the game even begins.The generator will ask you if you want to enter this space.Click "Yes" or "No".[10] [11] [12]
    • The generator will then ask you to fill in the free space.You can choose a simple phrase like "Free space" or something more complex.You can enter any combination of letters, symbols and numbers found on the keyboard.
    • You will also need to decide where to place the free space.You will usually find two options, "Center" or "Random".In most cases the free spaces are located in the center of the tabs.
  5. Step 5 Decidi la dimensione della cartella.
    Bingo cards are usually 5 by 5 squares.However, you can increase or decrease these values ​​based on the amount of words you have entered, the type of game you want to play, etc.If you want, you can create rectangular cards instead of following the classic square style.[13] [14] [15]
    • The generator will ask you the number of boxes in the length of the folder.Click on the field and enter a number.
    • The generator will also ask you the number of height boxes on the board.Click on the field and enter a number.
    • Multiply those numbers together.You should expect a number of words equal (assuming you have not chosen to add free space) to the product of the height and length values.If not, you will need to change the size of the card or add/subtract words to the list.
  6. Step 6 Stampa le tue schede del bingo.
    The generator will ask you to write the number of folders you want to print.Just click that field and enter a number.Then, click on "Generate Bingo Cards".The generator will begin communicating with the printer and the printing options window will open.Make sure to change the page orientation to landscape format.[16] [17] [18]
    • Since bingo cards get a lot of wear after many games, it is better to print them on card stock than regular printer paper.
    • You can also consider having the cards laminated.Many shipping companies offer lamination services for a fee, or you can use a local printer.

  1. Step 1 Scegli un programma per computer.
    You need to find one that allows you to create "Tables" that you can fill with any information you like.Some well-known and suitable software for this purpose are Microsoft Word (and derivatives), Print Shop and Google Docs.The first two are usually only found on traditional PCs, so if you have a Mac, you should try Google Docs or another online word processor.[19] [20]
  2. Step 2 Crea un nuovo documento vuoto.
    You should find the "Create", "New Document" or similar button.If not, open the "File" menu.In that menu you will see an item that allows you to create a new document.Now you need to add a table to the new blank page.First click "Insert", then "Table" from the drop-down menu.An empty standard table should appear in your document.[21] [22]
  3. Step 3 Personalizza la tabella.
    Based on the size of the bingo card you will decide how many boxes the table should have.Once the latter appears, you should notice a window on your screen.Enter the number of columns in length and rows in height.At this point you can drag the sides of the table to make it larger and have more space to write in.[23] [24]
  4. Step 4 Inserisci le informazioni desiderate nelle caselle.
    Click on one space at a time and enter one of the entries you have chosen.You can use words, letters, symbols or clip art.You can also include a "Free Space" in the card, which you can place wherever you like (usually in the center) and with the title you want.[25] [26]
  5. Step 5 Stampa la cartella.
    Click "File," then "Print" from the menu that appears.Change printer settings to landscape paper orientation.You should use card stock instead of regular printer paper.Make sure you only print the card once, because you will have to change the order of the words in the others.
  6. Step 6 Cambia l'ordine delle voci.
    Go back to the original table and change the entries.Click one, then click "Cut" or "Copy."Transfer it to another box, then compare this new card with the original one to make sure all the entries are in different boxes.
  7. Step 7 Stampa una nuova cartella dopo ogni modifica.
    Keep changing the order of entries and printing cards until you have one for each player.You can decide to create some extra folders to replace the ones you lose, or to avoid finding yourself without them if more players than expected participate.Find out how to have the cards laminated, using shipping services or local printers.Thanks to this solution they will be much more resistant.

Creating Bingo Cards by Hand

  1. Step 1 Disegna un grande quadrato su un foglio di cartoncino.
    Use a ruler to draw straight lines.It's best to decide on the number of columns and rows you'll need to draw first, so that division isn't too difficult later.For example, it's best to draw a top line 20cm if your folder has five columns.This way it will be very easy to divide and create five 4 cm columns.If the top line were 19 cm, the operation would be much more complex.[27] [28]
    • In traditional bingo cards, the top and bottom lines are the same length.However, this is only true if you have designed a classic bingo card.
  2. Step 2 Dividi il grande quadrato.
    Make a small pencil mark where each column will begin.Connect the matching marks at the top and bottom with a straight pencil line (use a ruler to help you).Repeat the same process on the side lines, so as to trace the lines.[29] [30]
  3. Step 3 Riempi le caselle.
    You can enter one entry in each box, such as "dog", "cat", etc.If you prefer, you can use numbers (56, 76, 87, etc.) or images.[31] [32]
    • Example:If you're creating a bingo card for your Spanish class, you can enter Spanish words in the boxes.At that point you will be able to name a word in Italian and the students will have to mark the corresponding Spanish translation on their sheet.
    • Decorate the cards as you like.Give each one a title, draw some drawings around the square and use all your creativity.
  4. Step 4 Ripeti i passaggi precedenti.
    You will need to get as many different cards as there are players.The words must be ordered differently, so that no player has the same card as another.If you only use the square on each card, you can cut it out with scissors.If you also decorated the outside of the square, leave the cards as they are.[33] [34]
