How to Make Olympics Bingo Cards
First, print the bingo cards and the calling cards. There are 20 different bingo cards included in the PDF, so you can print however many you need! The last two pages of the PDF are calling cards, so you will want to print them and cut out the figures to use in your draw pile.
For a large crowd, you can gather into pairs of teams!
