Play with taught letters only

The cards open with all 26 capitals. Delete letters your class has not met, and the cards follow. A 5 × 5 card with a free center needs 24 letters, a 4 × 4 card 16, and a 3 × 3 card 9 without one. Lines such as Aa, Bb, Cc print both forms.

Call names, sounds or cue words

Press Call the game, then Call the next one. Each press shows one capital, never twice, with a cue under it, such as B as in bus. Say the name, or for phonics the sound. B, C, D, E, G, P, T and V rhyme, and em and en blur across a room, so say the cue too. Print the call sheet lists all 26 with a tick box and the cue.

  • With 25 cards of 5 × 5, a first line usually comes between calls 6 and 11. A full card takes at least 24 calls.
  • On 3 × 3, turn off the free center in More options: left on, a line needs 2 letters and often comes by call 3.

Questions and answers

How do I get an alphabet bingo printable PDF?

Press Print 6 cards and choose Save as PDF in the dialog. At 2 to a page, 30 cards make 15 pages on Letter or A4.

Is this ABC bingo printable free for a class?

Yes. You get the alphabet bingo printable free, with no sign-up, for up to 60 cards. The 26 letters fill a 5 × 5 card with 2 to spare, so there is nothing to type before you print.

Can I make a lower-case letter bingo printable?

Yes. Copy this line and paste it into the word list, where it takes the place of the capitals: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z. A and a cannot share a list, because the tool drops repeats whatever the case.

How does a letter recognition alphabet bingo printable work?

You say a letter's name, and each pupil finds its shape and covers it. Capitals suit beginners: b, d, p and q mirror one another, and B, D, P and Q do not.

How different are the alphabet bingo generator's cards?

No two cards in a set are alike. A 5 × 5 card holds 24 of the 26 letters, so cards differ in which 2 are left out and where each letter sits. A 4 × 4 card leaves out 10.

All 26 letters

Vowels 5

  • A Lower case a. Say "A as in apple": the short sound, as in mat. The long sound is the one in mate.
  • E Lower case e. Say "E as in elbow": the short sound, as in pet. E is the letter used most often in English.
  • I Lower case i, with a dot. Say "I as in igloo": the short sound, as in twin. In many typefaces capital I looks like lower-case l and the digit 1.
  • O Lower case o, the same shape made smaller. Say "O as in octopus": the short sound, as in not. The long sound is the one in note.
  • U Lower case u. Say "U as in umbrella": the short sound, as in cub. U was set apart from V as a letter of its own in the 16th century.

Consonants 21

  • B Lower case b. Say "B as in bus". The name rhymes with 7 others (C, D, E, G, P, T and V), and with Z where Z is zee, so the cue word matters. Silent at the end of comb.
  • C Lower case c, the same shape made smaller. Say "C as in cat" for the hard sound. Before e, i or y it is usually soft, as in cell, city and rice.
  • D Lower case d, a mirrored b. Say "D as in dog". Capital D and capital B do not mirror each other, which is one reason to begin with capitals.
  • F Lower case f. Say "F as in fish". Six letter names open with a short e before the sound: ef, el, em, en, ess and ex.
  • G Lower case g. Say "G as in goat" for the hard sound. Before e, i or y it is often soft, as in giant and gym, but get and give stay hard.
  • H Lower case h. Say "H as in hat". Its usual name, aitch, does not contain the h sound. Silent in hour and honest.
  • J Lower case j, with a dot like i. Say "J as in jam". J was set apart from I as a letter of its own in the 16th century. Jay rhymes with kay.
  • K Lower case k. Say "K as in kite". Silent before n, as in knee, knife and knock.
  • L Lower case l, a single tall stroke. Say "L as in lion". In many typefaces it looks like capital I and the digit 1. Silent in talk and half.
  • M Lower case m. Say "M as in moon". Em and en are easy to mishear across a room, so give the cue word for both.
  • N Lower case n. Say "N as in nest". Silent after m at the end of autumn and hymn.
  • P Lower case p, which mirrors q. Say "P as in pig". With h it says f, as in photograph.
  • Q Lower case q, which mirrors p. Say "Q as in queen". In English, qu most often says kw. Q is the second least used letter, after Z.
  • R Lower case r. Say "R as in rabbit". Wrong and wrist begin with this sound, because w is silent before r.
  • S Lower case s, the same shape made smaller. Say "S as in sun". It says z in is and prison. Ess and ef are easy to mishear, so give the cue word.
  • T Lower case t. Say "T as in tiger". With h it spells two other sounds, as in thing and this. Silent in Christmas and ballet.
  • V Lower case v, the same shape made smaller. Say "V as in van". Vee and bee differ by one sound, so say the cue word and hold up the letter.
  • W Lower case w, the same shape made smaller. Say "W as in web". Double-u is the only letter name with more than one syllable.
  • X Lower case x, the same shape made smaller. Say "X as in fox", because x says ks, as in six and taxi. At the start of xylophone it says z.
  • Y Lower case y. Say "Y as in yellow" for the consonant sound, as in yes and year. It does a vowel's job in my, happy and myth.
  • Z Lower case z, the same shape made smaller. Say "Z as in zebra". The name is zee in American English and zed in British English. Z is the least used letter in English.
