Make up to 100 different bingo cards, with 75-ball numbers or your own words, and download them as a PDF with a caller sheet.
A bingo card generator fills a square grid with items picked at random, so that no two cards are the same, and prints the cards on paper. In 75-ball mode a card is 5 by 5. Column B holds 5 different numbers from 1 to 15, I from 16 to 30, N from 31 to 45, G from 46 to 60 and O from 61 to 75. The centre of N is a FREE space, so N has only 4 numbers and the card has 24 numbers plus FREE. Turn the free space off and N holds 5 numbers, 25 in all. Numbers inside a column are in random order. Every card is compared with the cards made before it, and a card that repeats is replaced, so 1 to 100 cards are all different.
Switch to Your own words to make cards from a list: classroom vocabulary, animals, holiday items or party facts. Pick a 3 by 3, 4 by 4 or 5 by 5 card. A 5 by 5 card with a free centre needs 24 different items, and without it 25. A 4 by 4 card needs 16 and has no centre. A 3 by 3 card needs 8 with a free centre or 9 without. If you give fewer, the tool says how many more it needs. If you give more, each card uses a random selection: with 30 items, every 5 by 5 card holds 24 of them in a different order. Items are tidied, blank lines are skipped, and items that match once case is ignored count once. An item can have up to 40 characters, and long ones are wrapped inside the square.
Download PDF puts 1, 2 or 4 cards on each page of Letter or A4 paper, each card with your title and its number at the foot. With the caller sheet on, the last pages list everything that can be called. For 75-ball cards that is one page with the numbers 1 to 75 in rows for B, I, N, G and O. For words it is the list with a tick box in front of each item. For example, 100 cards at 4 per page make 25 card pages, and with the caller sheet the PDF has 26 pages. The screen shows the first 4 cards only. The PDF always holds all of them.
The tool prints cards. It does not call numbers, track winners or check a bingo for you, and it does not make 90-ball or 30-ball cards. Cards are random, so a card can repeat an item that is on another card, as in any bingo set. The PDF uses the standard Helvetica font. If the title or an item has characters such as Greek, Chinese or emoji, the download button is switched off and says why, because they would not print. Your items and title stay in this tab and are not uploaded.
Choose Your own words, type one item per line and pick a card size. A 5 by 5 card with a free centre needs 24 different items. Set the number of cards, up to 100, and press Download PDF.
24 with a free centre, 25 without. With 30 items each card uses 24 of them, so the cards differ in which words appear and where. A 4 by 4 card needs 16 and a 3 by 3 card needs 8 or 9.
B holds 1 to 15, I holds 16 to 30, N holds 31 to 45, G holds 46 to 60 and O holds 61 to 75. Each column has 5 numbers, except N, which has 4 plus the FREE space in the centre.
Yes. Each new card is compared with the earlier ones and replaced if it repeats. That holds for up to 100 cards. If the settings cannot give that many different cards, the tool says so instead of printing copies.
Yes. Cards per page can be 1, 2 or 4, on Letter or A4. With 4 per page, 100 cards use 25 pages. 4 cards per page make small squares, so keep words short or use fewer per page.
No. The text is processed in your browser and not uploaded. The PDF is built on your device. Only the options, such as card type, number of cards, title and page size, are saved in this browser, never your items.
