There’s nothing like a good game of bingo, and during this season it’s the perfect time to celebrate with the fall-themed cards. It’s so much fun that you can have a game at birthday parties, youth church group, or in the classroom.
It’s also a great way to entertain kids on a road trip since many are traveling during the months of fall. Really our whole family loves playing, so we always make different versions depending on the holiday or season.
Another fun way to take part in the season is with our fall scattergories game or this super fun fall scavenger hunt!

🌟What’s Included
You will receive 60 unique cards that come in full page bingo boards and two to a sheet to help reduce ink and paper consumption. There is no free space on the cards.
Calling card: there are two calling cards or you can cut apart the large calling cards to put in a hat to pull out.
Markers: for the bingo chips, you can cut apart the 4 fall themed markers that fit the game boards.
🍂What’s on the Fall Bingo Cards
Every card is built from the same pool of 45 fall images, shuffled so no two cards are alike. Each square has both a picture and the word underneath, which is what makes the game work for kids who aren’t reading yet. They can match on the picture alone while older kids read along.
Here’s everything that shows up across the set:
Leaves and plants Yellow leaf, orange leaf, brown leaf, tan leaf, blue leaf, leaf pile, branch, sunflower, wheat
Fall animals Fox, bear, owl, squirrel, bee, snail, turkey
Nature finds Acorn, pinecone, mushroom, berries, pumpkin, corn, moon, cloud
Harvest food and treats Apple, apple basket, caramel dipped apple, pie, pie slice, cupcake, fall drink, s’mores, marshmallow, turkey leg
Cozy things to wear Sweater, scarf, hat, boots, yellow boot, umbrella, blue umbrella
Around the fire Candle, campfire, logs, football
Five of those are leaves in different colors, and there are two pairs that differ only by color (the boots and the umbrellas). That’s on purpose. Younger kids have to look at the color, not just the shape, which turns a matching game into a little bit of a color recognition exercise.
📌What You’ll Need
Paper – to print the bingo game on; also use the half sheets to consume less ink or paper.
Scissors or paper trimmer – to cut out the bingo markers, large calling cards, and to cut the apart the half sheets if using.
*Optional – laminator or sheet protectors – this is a great way to make the bingo game reusable without using tons of ink and paper. They also have self laminating sheets that are a little more expensive, but you don’t have to have the actual machine.
If you use the sheet protectors, you can use dry erase markers or the printable paper markers that are included in the download.

Same printable, wildly different results, and it comes down to about four decisions. Cardstock and dot markers are under $20 and enough to play tonight. The trimmer, the laminator, the storage: that’s for sets you’ll pull out again next year.

✨Autumn Bingo Game Instructions
Set Up
- Assign a player to be the caller.
- Give each player a bingo card and 25 markers.
- Shuffle the calling cards (if you are using the large cutouts).
- Determine which winning variation below you will play by.
How to Play
The caller will name an object. If any player has the object on their card, they should cover it with a marker. Place the card to the side or mark off the object on the full calling sheet.
Continuing calling cards until the first player shouts, “BINGO”! This may require reshuffling the cards and going back through them unless you print extra copies.
How to Win Bingo
There are a few variations of how to win Bingo.
- Traditional – any combination of 5 objects. This can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
- Full card – all squares on the card must be covered to win.
- Four corners – each of the corners have to be covered.
- Outer borders – only the borders of the card will be covered.
What Happens Next?
After the first person wins bingo, you have two options. Have guests clear their cards and start over for a new game or continue playing, leaving their markers where they are. Older kids normally like a little bit of a challenge, so we recommend them clearing their cards.
👇How to Download and Print
After entering your email address, you will receive a download link via email where you can access the free printable bingo cards.

🧸Fall Bingo for Preschoolers
This game works beautifully for the preschool crowd, and the reason is the card design. Every square pairs a clear picture with the word, so a three or four year old can play the exact same card as their older sibling without any help. They’re matching shapes and colors while the big kids are reading.
A few things that make it go smoother with little ones:
Play the full card version. Traditional bingo asks kids to track five in a row, which is a lot of spatial reasoning for a preschooler. Covering every square is simpler, lasts longer, and nobody loses.
Use the picture calling cards. Hold up the card instead of only saying the word. Kids can match visually and it keeps them from getting stuck.
Say the color out loud. With five different colored leaves plus two boots and two umbrellas that differ only by color, calling “yellow leaf” instead of just “leaf” keeps things clear and sneaks in some color practice.
Swap the paper markers for something chunkier. Little hands do better with pom poms, dot markers, or candy corn than with small paper squares.
Keep the first game short. Four or five kids and one round is plenty. If they want more, you’ll know.
🍎Using Fall Bingo in the Classroom
The 60 card count exists for exactly this reason. Most free bingo printables come with six or eight cards, which means half your class is sharing or you’re printing duplicates and dealing with two kids winning at once. With 60, you can hand every student their own card with plenty left over, and you’re set for multiple classes if you teach more than one section.
Print the half sheet version. Two cards per page cuts your paper and ink use in half, and the smaller size fits better on a desk next to everything else.
Laminate once, use for years. Run the set through a laminator or slide the cards into sheet protectors, hand out dry erase markers, and you’ve got a fall activity you can pull out every October without reprinting. This is worth the afternoon it takes.
Let a student be the caller. It’s good practice reading aloud, and it frees you up to help kids who need it.
Use it as a vocabulary warm-up. Before you play, go through the calling cards and talk about each item. A few of these, like wheat, the caramel dipped apple, and the turkey leg, aren’t ones every kid will recognize on sight.
Good for indoor recess and the last twenty minutes of the day. Setup is fast and cleanup is faster, which matters when you’re filling an unexpected gap.
It also works well for youth groups, homeschool co-ops, library programs, and after school care. Anywhere you’ve got a mixed age group and need something everyone can do at once.
💡Helpful Tips
- If you didn’t want to use the printable markers, you could use dot markers or candy corns.
- If a more professional look or if you want the game to look a little prettier, use heavy card stock. The paper weight will vary, but as a reference regular computer paper is about 20lbs.
- Check your printer settings before starting. No printer? Local print shops can help, and they are usually reasonably priced or you can check an online print shop.
- Laminating the cards is a great way to make them last longer. Then instead of using the paper markers, you can use dry erase markers.
Bingo is the perfect game to play with kids of all ages! Our fall bingo game cards include words and pictures, so even younger kids can participate. It’s great for small groups or large groups consider how many cards come with the set.
Common FAQs
Up to 60, since that’s how many unique cards are in the set. For a family game night, four to six is comfortable. For a classroom or party, you’ve got plenty of cards to give everyone their own.
Yes. The download includes a two per page version alongside the full page cards. The half sheets use about half the paper and ink and are a better fit for desks and small tables.
Candy corn, dot markers, pom poms, dried beans, buttons, or pennies all work. Candy corn is a favorite for obvious reasons.
About 10 to 15 minutes for traditional bingo, and 20 to 30 for a full card game. Four corners is the fastest if you’re short on time.
