Here’s how to play:
Printer Friendly Instructions
1. Give all players an unmarked Vintage Patriotic bingo card and a supply a colored marker, pencil, or pen. One player can also act as the Call Person, or someone who is not playing can be the Call Person. Put the call cards in a bowl, bag, or box and shake to mix them. Do the same with the call letters in a separate bowl, bag, or box.
2. To begin, the Call Person draws one call letter and then draws a call card. Announce the letter and the word or image on the call card, such as saying “N, Liberty Bell with two Unites States Flags” (you may want to also show these to the players, which really helps the younger children who are playing).
3. The players find the letter and then look down that column for the image. For the example, each player finds the letter N at the top of the card, and looks down that row of five boxes. If there is the Liberty Bell with two Unites States Flags in one of those boxes, they put a marker on it (or put an X through it if using pen, pencil, or marker). If the player does not find that image in the letter column that is called, nothing is marked.
4. The Call Person sets the letter card and the image to the side, and then draws a new letter card and call card from the piles. Announce the letter and the call card (and shown them to the players).
5. The players look for the letter and then the image. If it is found, it is marked.
6. The play continues until one player has BINGO! Bingo is all boxes marked in a single column, in a single row, or diagonally (one corner to another corner). Remember, one or more boxes is marked FREE!, which means that you can make BINGO in that column, row, or on the diagonal if you mark the other four boxes.
7. Play the game as many times as you need to so that everyone wins!
These are perfect for Flag Day and July 4th activites!

Before I tell you about these Free Patriotic Projects
Bingo cards, which are
free printables, I would like to remind you that often what children
remember later in life are the small things we do for them, such as
enjoying a Family Bingo Night. There's nothing better than an
old-fashioned game where you sit around the kitchen table, relaxing and
visiting with each other, to keep you in touch with what's really
happening as a family (that goes beyond a quick text message here and
there throughout the day). Just remember that this may seem like a
simple, nonsense thing to you but it can really help children to feel
secure in themselves and their place in the family, as well as to have
better communication with you, sisters, or brothers, and other extended
family members who may be living with you.
I know that a lot of parents think they have an open line of
communication with their children because they ask “What went on in
school today?” and get a reply “Not much.” A question like this can
often feel to the child like being put on the spot. This can make kids
close down and not really want to talk at all, even if something did “go
on” at school that day. However, starting a Family Bingo Night can give
your child a more relaxed and easy open line of communication to you, in
a fun environment, that can pay back many rewards. Sometimes just
talking while having fun can work itself around to being a more serious
conversation. When children become teenagers and remember how easy it is
to talk to you, it is more likely that you will hear about the important
stuff that is happening in their lives.
So start a tradition of Family Bingo Night now with Vintage
Patriotic Bingo, and play
on of our Bingo using
the top navigation to pick the game theme of your choice.
Bingo is an easy game
and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages! Everything you need is provided;
all you have to do is print the
Bingo game cards, the two bingo call sheets.
