Let’s welcome fall with this free Fall Bingo printable activity. Not only are Bingo games the perfect game for working on vocabulary words with kids, but they are also FUN to play. In this post, I will be sharing a free Bingo printable as well as a resource in my shop so you can decide which is the best fit for you.
FALL BINGO
As a huge fan of Fall, October and November are amongst my favorite months of the year. We do a lot of fun fall activities. I’ve already printed out our printable fall scavenger hunt and got our decorations up, including our finished pictures from the fall tree painting activity that we did.
Get 5 free printable bingo cards at the bottom of this post. But first, let me tell you a little bit more about the Fall Bingo classroom resource.
Who would like to play bingo?
Families, homeschoolers and classrooms will enjoy playing this fun game of fall-themed bingo together. These Fall Bingo printables are great for everyone getting together and having fun while learning at the same time. They are perfect for family game nights.
Bingo games are perfect for kids of all ages (especially with toddlers and preschoolers) and are always a hit at birthday parties too.
Our whole family likes to join in on Bingo gameplay time. Did you know that playing Bingo helps the elderly too! It is highly therapeutic for those with cognitive disorders.
What’s in this bingo game?
This Fall Bingo game contains fall bingo cards and focuses on fall-themed vocabulary words like corn, leaf, scarecrows, candy corns, apples, and more. The squirrel is my favorite! (Isn’t it the cutest?!)
Materials Required:
- Cardstock or printer paper ~ to print the cards and boards out on
- Laminator ~ to laminate the cards and boards
- Students can cover the game board using small candy, skittles, mini erasers, other small items, or use the included calling card markers.
- Scissors to cut out the calling cards.
Supplies We Used
How to Prepare The Fall Bingo Game
If you are using the fall bingo product, then you can choose to print the color copy or the black and white copy of the game boards and calling cards.
The black and white copy can be printed out onto colored paper as you see above to give it some color. You can also print it out on white cardstock and have students color it in (or use dot markers instead of game markers.)
If you want to make it reusable (and play it yearly), then go ahead and laminate it. If you don’t have cardstock, feel free to use normal printer paper.
If you are using the free printable game, then it comes in color only. Choose how many game mats you want to print out and print them out on cardstock.
Helpful printing tip! If you want the game boards to be smaller, in your printer settings you can have your printer print two to a page like you see below.
Then cut out the calling cards.
Add the calling cards to a bowl or jar.
How to play the bingo game
Have your child or student turn around a calling card. They can call out what they see on the card.
Whoever has this picture on their game mat can place a marker, mini eraser, or other small item onto their game board.
When the whole game mat is filled up the gameplayer can shout out, “Bingo!”.
You can also choose to call out, “Bingo” if you cover up a row. How you choose to play is your decision and should be established at the start of the game.
The winner gets a prize!
You can continue to play until you’ve given out all the prizes.
While playing this fun Fall themed bingo game, children will be reviewing their vocabulary, word recognition and fine motor skills while using manipulatives to mark their images and of course, picture and word recognition.
Fall Bingo Cards
While the bingo calling cards are normally used to call out the names of each item, we also like to use these as flashcards to work on vocabulary words and play a memory-matching game.
How to play a memory-matching game
To use it as a memory-matching game, you can print out two copies of the calling cards. Then have children match the pumpkin card to the other one, etc.
How to play with just one person
Add the calling cards to a sensory bin and have your child search for the cards. Once they find a card they can mark it off on their card.
How to store the game
Store together in a clear document folder with the calling cards held together in a zip lock bag as well as a zip lock bag containing manipulatives that can be used as markers on the boards.
What does the product include
The paid-for product includes 32 calling cards and 35 Bingo game boards. It is perfect for a classroom, a birthday party, or a family who LOVES playing bingo.
Each game board includes 25 different images. These game boards contain the name of the image to help children with matching the images to the words.
The Fall-themed bingo pack includes 2 options for you; a very pretty, colorful version and a black and white for those who want to save their color ink.

Free Printable Fall Bingo Cards
I know my readers love free printables, so I’ve created a free fall Bingo game for you guys.
It’s different from the product in my shop. Here is what is different:
- This free printable bingo cards game includes 5 game mats instead of 30 game mats. This is great for small groups.
- The freebie doesn’t include words for each picture so children can identify each picture by looking at the image.
I think you will love having this option, too!
