St. Patrick's Day Bingo Cards

How to play St. Patrick'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

• March 17 is traditionally the day Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died in the fifth century. Legend says he used the three-leaf shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
• New York City's St. Patrick's Day parade dates to 1762, older than the United States itself, and Chicago has dyed its river green every year since 1962.
• Blue was the color first associated with Saint Patrick; green took over later through the shamrock and Ireland's nickname, the Emerald Isle.
