Football Bingo Cards

How to play football bingo

1. Give each player a card and something to mark squares with.
2. The caller reads words from the caller's list in any order, ticking each one off.
3. Players mark a word when it's called. The middle square is free.
4. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!" and the caller checks the card.

Play along during the game: mark a square when the commentators say it or it happens on the field. First to a line picks the next snack.

Good to know

• An American football field is 100 yards between the goal lines, plus a 10-yard end zone at each end.
• A touchdown is worth 6 points, a field goal 3 points and a safety 2 points.
• Teams get four downs to move the ball at least 10 yards; make it and they earn a new first down.
• Classroom tip: turn scoring into a math warm-up by asking kids how many ways a team could reach 17 points.
