We have plans of playing a little Bingo at this year’s Valentine’s Party.
But, not just any Bingo…Family Bingo. With the faces of some of the cutest kids we know. 😉
If you’d like to make your own personalized Bingo cards…
- Download the PNG file HERE
- In your photo editing software, open a new 8×10 document
- Open the new PNG file (BINGO card)
- Open the pictures you want to use
- Crop each picture into a square and then drag the photo onto your new file
- Place your photos on the layer beneath the Bingo card (note: I tried to make sure each row down did not have the same kid twice)
- Make a few different variations of your Bingo card so no one has the exact same one (note: you won’t have to move every picture every time)
- Pass out M&M’s or Hershey Kisses to use as your markers
If this is not something you’d like to attempt or my instructions are just way too confusing… 😉
- Download a blank Bingo card HERE
- Print out the card as an 8×10
- Cut + adhere photos onto each of the squares
- You could also just tape the photos onto the squares, make a photo copy and then rearrange the photos for the next card

This is a great idea for getting ready for a family reunion or wedding, to practice recognizing all the faces.

LOVE This! I'm making it today!
Can you help me w/ a quick way to crop. I'm on a mac and have the latest version of PSE (9 I think?) and CS5. I usually like to do stuff like this in PSE if possible. I just spend a lot of time dragging the corner down over and over again till it's the size I want and there just has to be an easier way. THANKS!

Is there an easy way to add another row? My son's class has 28 students at the moment. 🙁
julandmatt says
This is so awesome! This is perfect for my nephew's 21st birthday party next week. I could make all the pictures of him! Of course we are going to a bar but this would be really fun to play and remember him as a young boy!
thank you
Welcome to Our Story says
Hi! I am making this right now for a family reunion. I was curious, did having the pictures all over the place make it hard to get BINGO? Would assigning certain pictures to each row work – so I could say "B – Tyler" – then the little kids know what column to look in? Or was it fine having them anywhere on the board? Thanks for your help! The file is working great for me in Photoshop. jennywhiting at gmail dot com
Jamie says
I don't think we had any issues. I'm sure the way you're talking about doing it would work great. If I remember correctly, we just drew a picture and then the kids marked that picture off. We didn't call out any of the B-I-N-G-O letters. (I hope that makes sense)
Welcome to Our Story says
Thanks Jamie! I think either way would work. I've been making several versions of the card and I'm excited to play with all my nieces and nephews this next week. Thanks again for providing the file!
Jamie says
You're very welcome. Hope you have a great time!!
Kelly says
I LOVE this idea, managed to get the kids' pictures from the teacher, and now I'm stuck. I cannot get this to work with Picasa. What am I doing wrong?? grrr. I am running out of days to make this happen, so here's hoping you can help me. Thanks!

Good Evening,
I would like to use your bingo template but am having trouble figuring out how to use it.
I have an apple laptop. Do you need special/additional photo edit software to utilize template?
Thank you
Christine
