Mother's Day Bingo Cards

How to play Mother's Day 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.

Print 2 cards to a page to save paper, cut them apart, and use candy, cereal or buttons as markers. The caller’s list on the last page makes calling easy.

Good to know

• Anna Jarvis organized the first official Mother's Day observance in 1908 in Grafton, West Virginia, to honor her own mother; white carnations became the day's emblem.
• President Woodrow Wilson made Mother's Day a national observance in 1914, setting it on the second Sunday in May.
• Card idea: after solving, kids choose three words from the list that describe their mom (or another special grown-up) and write them inside a handmade card.
