Valentine's Day Bingo Cards

How to play Valentine'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

• The holiday is named for Saint Valentine, an early Christian martyr; its link to romantic love shows up much later, in medieval poetry such as Geoffrey Chaucer's.
• Esther Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts, is often called the Mother of the American Valentine for the lace-trimmed cards she began selling in the late 1840s.
