Making Bingo Cards

Bingo is a game that all age groups can enjoy.


Bingo can be a thrilling game, and it's a game that you can play with all age groups and on many occasions. You can use custom-made bingo cards at a wedding or baby shower to entertain your guests, or you can just play with a group of friends for fun. You might also be in charge of supplying bingo cards for a larger function, such as for a community center or festival. No matter what your reason, you can make high quality bingo cards yourself with no outside programs or professional printers.


Instructions


1. Open the computer program you plan to use. All you need is a program that can be used to create a table, such as Microsoft Excel. Click on the "Insert" option in the main menu, and select "Table."


2. Choose how many columns and how many rows you want your table to have. Most Bingo cards have five columns and five rows for numbering. Set the table settings so that there is a visible border around the entire table and around each cell.


3. At the top of each column, type a letter of the work Bingo. For example, column one will have a "B" at the top. Column two will have an "I" and so on. The number of rows is typically five, but you can choose to have more or fewer.


4. Add numbers to your Bingo card. For standard Bingo cards, column one has random numbers ranging from 1 to 15 in each box underneath it. Column two has numbers from 16 to 30. Column three has numbers from 31 to 45. Column four has numbers from ranging from 46 to 60, and column five has numbers ranging from 61 to 75. If you're not creating a standard Bingo card, you can fill your boxes with anything you want. For wedding and baby shower games, you can leave your bingo cards blank and allow your guests to fill them in.


5. Make sure every Bingo card you make is unique. You can't have duplicate cards or you'll have more than one winner. Double check to ensure each card is different.


6. Print the Bingo cards on your printer. You can use special paper, but plain paper will work just fine. You might consider using slightly thicker computer paper, such as resume or presentation paper, so that Bingo markers don't leak through to the surface the Bingo card is placed on.
