How To Play Cinco De Mayo Bingo
Playing Bingo with our free printable bingo cards is simple and is even a big hit with young children with limited reading skills since it is visual.
After printing your copy of our Cinco de Mayo bingo free printable (instant download link available at bottom of this post) have each player or group of players select a bingo card.
With 20 bingo cards, our free printable bingo game can be played by a group of up to 20 without any duplicates since each of the 20 game sheets provides a unique card.
After cutting your calling cards on the dotted lines, shuffle and place them in a container like a plastic cup. Begin the game by picking a card and revealing the image to players.
Players then look for the image on their bingo cards and mark off matching symbols with a marker.
Consider giving each player small paper cups filled with buttons, cactus erasers or other small objects to mark their bingo card template as they play.
We don’t suggest using Bingo daubers or markers if you plan to reuse our Cinco de Mayo Bingo free printable game over and over again.
The winner is the first player to get a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of 5 matching symbols through the free space on their bingo card.
