Accents and regional words

Start from a preset or type your own list, one item per line as Spanish | English. Accents and ¿ ¡ print correctly, and emoji work as pictures. The presets use Latin American words such as la papa and el jugo. In Spain you would write la patata and el zumo instead, so edit any line to suit your class.

How to play bingo in Spanish class

The teacher reads the English word from the call list, and students find the Spanish word on their card. The call list is shuffled and has tick boxes, so the teacher can mark each word as it is called. A second page lists every call in alphabetical order, which helps check a winner.

Every card in a set is different, so no two students have the same squares. A free space in the centre gives everyone one square already covered. The first student to cover a full line across, down or diagonally calls out “¡Bingo!”, and the teacher checks the marked squares against the full list.

To practise listening instead of reading, read the Spanish word aloud. The Spanish is on the card side of each line. You can also swap the sides by writing the line as dog | el perro, so students hear the Spanish and look for the English.

How do you say bingo in Spanish

The word is bingo in Spanish too. When a player wins, they call “¡Bingo!” That is why the card title on this page starts as BINGO, which works in both languages.

Mexican lotería is a related picture game with its own traditional cards, not the same game as bingo. Lotería uses a different set of cards, and this site has a separate lotería card generator for it.

How do I play with the Spanish numbers list?

The numbers list puts the Spanish word on the card, such as quince, and the numeral 15 on the call list. The teacher can say the number in English, hold up fingers, or write the numeral on the board, and students look for the Spanish word. For a harder round, read the Spanish word aloud instead. Because the list has 30 numbers, a 4 × 4 or 3 × 3 card gives more variety than a 5 × 5 card, which uses 24 of the 30 numbers on every card.

Frequently asked questions

Can the card show Spanish and the caller say English?

Yes. Write each item as Spanish | English. The Spanish prints on the card, and the English goes on the call list, so the caller reads English while players look for the Spanish.

How do I make Spanish bingo with my own words?

Open the word list and type one item per line, as Spanish | English. You can add or delete lines freely. If the list is too short for your grid, the tool says how many more items you need.

What are the Spanish numbers 1 to 30?

The numbers 1 to 10 are uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve and diez. The numbers 11 to 15 are once, doce, trece, catorce and quince, and 16 to 19 are dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho and diecinueve. Twenty is veinte, 21 to 29 are written as one word from veintiuno to veintinueve, and 30 is treinta.

How many different cards can I make?

You can make up to 500 cards per set, and every card has a different set of squares. If your list is too short to make that many different cards, the tool says how many are possible. With 30 items on a 5 × 5 grid with a free space, there are 593,775 different sets of squares, which is enough for any class.

Is this tool free, and do I need an account?

How do I save the cards as a PDF?
