How to Play 4th of July Bingo
Here’s how to play 4th of july bingo!
Cut up one of the cards (or print an extra one) to use as your draw pile.
Give each child a bingo card along with candy, 4th of July stickers, pennies, or other markers. It is fun to have red, white or blue candies that the kiddos can use!
Place the cut up icons in a bowl. Draw one at a time, showing the players what you drew so they can mark it off on their card.
The first person to get 5 July 4th icons in a row, wins! Make sure to tell the kids exactly how to play and to yell “Bingo!” when they have 5 in a row.
Hand out prizes like candy or a special 4th of July s’mores!

Hi,
Great idea, but what do you use for calling out —for people to mark a spot on the card?
Thanks
