Alphabet Bingo helps children learn through play — an approach proven to build stronger connections and longer-lasting learning. By engaging in a game, children are:

Advertisements
  • Strengthening letter recognition (both upper and lower case)
  • Building phonemic awareness — hearing and identifying letter sounds
  • Practicing turn-taking and listening skills
  • Developing visual scanning and focus

When children play, they’re not just memorizing letters — they’re having fun while learning!

How to Play Alphabet Bingo

  1. Print and Prepare:
    Download and print the free Alphabet Bingo cards and letter call-out sheet. You can laminate the cards to make them reusable.
  2. Call Out Letters:
    An adult (or older child) calls out a letter — for example, “Find the letter B!”
  3. Find and Cover:
    Children look for the letter on their bingo card and cover it with a counter, button, or small object.
  4. Celebrate:
    When a child fills a row (across, down, or diagonal), they can shout “Bingo!”
  5. Keep Learning:
    Mix it up by calling out the letter sounds instead of letter names (for example, “Find the letter that says /b/”).

Learning Tips

  • Encourage children to say the letter name and sound aloud when they find it.
  • Use it as a small-group activity during literacy time or as a quiet learning centre.
