How it works

This scavenger hunt bingo template opens on 6 cards of things to find in a classroom, each drawing 24 of 30 round a Free find center. A schoolyard list and a shapes, numbers and letters list are one pick away.

Read the full guide

Find it, point, cross it off

Give each pupil or pair a card and set the boundary. A find counts once a partner has seen it: nothing is picked, carried or taken off a shelf. Five in a row is a bingo. For a longer hunt, play until a whole card is crossed off.

Make the template yours

Press a square, then Change this square, and type your own find, such as the class pet or the reading corner; it changes on every card that held the old one. The third list turns the hunt into a lesson: a square corner, an odd number, a word with a double letter.

  • For kindergarten, step Grid down to 3 × 3 and read the eight squares aloud before anyone moves.
  • Outdoors, every living thing is look-only. The notes in the list below say so square by square.

Questions and answers

How do you make a scavenger hunt bingo card?

Start from one of the three lists and retype the squares that do not fit your room. Set How many cards to your class size and print. Each card draws its own 24 finds, so neighbors hunt for different things.

Is there a blank scavenger hunt bingo template?

Yes. Open More options and press Empty the list. The cards then print with empty squares round the Free find center, for you to fill in by hand or for pupils to write a hunt for each other.

Can I use the template for an outdoor hunt?

Pick On the schoolyard in Ready-made list. Its 30 finds need only what most school grounds have: a shadow, a painted line, a plant growing in a crack. Leaves, flowers and insects are looked at and left alone.
