Themed Bingo Game Printables for the Entire School Year

Save these themed Bingo game printables for the entire school year. Seasonal scavenger hunts including back to school, fall, winter, spring and even summer. 

Themed Bingo Game Printables

Themed Bingo Game Printables for School

B-I-N-G-O (it’s hard to talk about Bingo and not sing the song!)

Looking for seasonal Bingo printables? We found the best selection of Bingo games for back to school, fall, winter, spring, and summer. You can use these printable games inside the classroom, for events like a class party, or save for outside the classroom for birthday parties, family events, and more.

What is Bingo?

Bingo is an international game in which players mark off numbers (or pictures) on cards. As the numbers (or pictures) are drawn randomly by a caller, the player marks off the called number (picture). The winner is the first person to mark off five numbers in a row or another required pattern (horizontal, four corners, a diagonal pattern, or even the entire board.)

What are the Bingo Rules?

The rules of Bingo are simple. The rules can change slightly each game, as the caller determines the pattern for winning.

  1. Each player gets one card. Cards should be different for each player.
  2. In addition to a player, there is a caller.
  3. The caller determines the winning pattern for each game. Five in a row (column, diagonal line, four corners, or a full board.)
  4. The caller calls out a number (or picture.)
  5. The player marks of that number (or picture.) A stamp, marker, or object can be used to mark off the number (or picture).
  6. The caller and player continue this rhythm.
  7. When a player gets the winning pattern, they call out loudly “bingo”
  8. The caller determines the player has one.
  9. A new game can begin or the caller can call until a second (third, fourth…) winner occurs.


Bingo Game Prize Ideas

Stick with the theme. These are seasonal games, so consider seasonal prizes. If you are playing Bingo in a classroom, ask your parents to donate non-food prizes. Since you are playing many rounds of Bingo, keep prizes simplistic as larger prizes would be too much.

Bingo prize ideas include:

Kids Breakfast Recipes for Back to School

Save these kids breakfast recipes for the back to school season. Easy and healthy recipes your kids will enjoy and you can quickly make in the morning or prep ahead.

Kids Breakfast Recipes

Kids Breakfast Recipes for Back to School

My kids eat pretty healthy. This is for two reasons. First, I am a good mom. Second (and most truthful), I will beat those kids to a full bag of chips. Not the individual sized chips. I mean, I will out eat a family-sized bag of Doritos Chips.  Because this last fact is scarily true, I can’t buy unhealthy food in our house. I can’t control my own urges. Knowing my own limitations and also, being a good mom, I worked hard to find Kids Breakfast Recipes in preparation for Back to School.

These breakfast recipes are not only recipes the kids will enjoy but also recipes I (the good parent, mother) will enjoy. The ingredients will not make me feel sick, I mean the kids feel sick, at the on-start of the day. Many you can prep ahead over the weekend, and pull out on a weekday morning.


These Easy Baked Oatmeal Cups (The Recipe Rebel) use only four basic ingredients and they’re perfect for breakfast

Bake and freeze our Apple Oat Muffins (Frugal Coupon Living). Microwave and serve with or without butter.

Such a unique breakfast idea, whip up these Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Toast on a Stick (Peas and Crayons) for a fun back to school breakfast!

Apple Pizzas (Veggie Desserts) are a fun and tasty treat. They’re a great healthy kids recipe for breakfast (or even serve as an after school snack.)

Prepare these Scrambled Egg Muffins (Six Sisters Stuff) ahead, maybe over the weekend. Freeze them and pop them in the microwave each morning.

Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats (Jessica in the Kitchen) are so easy to make! They take 5 minutes to prep, and are made overnight in your fridge!

Cranberry Coconut Chocolate Chip Granola Bars (Eating Bird Food), need a say more?

America’s favorite breakfast is cereal! Toast with a glass of milk and these Kids Breakfast Cereal Bars (I Heart Naptime).

Breakfast burritos are fun, but when they are crispy, they are even better! These Crispy Sausage Egg Breakfast Burritos (Meatloaf and Melodrama) are hearty enough for a kids breakfast. They are also freezer friendly so you can make them ahead of time!

Check out this unique Kids Breakfast Recipe, a Hidden-Egg Bagel Sandwich (Toaster Oven Love). A donut pan and scooped-out bagels make for this fun and mess-free back to school breakfast.

Energy balls are so easy to make. Switch up your Energy Ball Recipes (Bless This Mess) every week – blueberry, chocolate, peanut butter, oatmeal and more!

Twist up the everyday breakfast with kids Pebbles Cereal Sushi Breakfast (Raising Whasians).

Popsicle molds can be for something more than summer snacks. These Milk and Cereal Breakfast Popsicles (In Katrina’s Kitchen) have more ingredients than what’s in their description.

These Funfetti Breakfast Muffins (The Pinning Mama) might have your kids jumping out of bed!

Smoothies are my go to breakfast recipe. My kids always get jealous. I found this Banana Breakfast Smoothie (Marsha’s Baking Addiction) has perfect ingredients for the kids. PS I would sneak in some spinach. Just sayin’!

No one can say no to cookies. Banana Bread transforms into Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies (Mile High Mitts).

Cold, refreshing and good for you, these Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups (The Unlikely Baker) are a bite you can personalize per taste!

Chocolate Croissants? Sneak in a banana with these Banana Hazelnut Stuffed Crescent Rolls (Frugal Coupon Living).

If your kids love guacamole, consider sending them off to school full on Avocado Toast (Spend with Pennies) – so tasty!

The many faces of …. toast. Create a different Animal Face Toast (All She Cooks) every morning of the week!


Don’t forget mom (and dad)! These are some of our favorite High Protein Breakfast Recipes. Pin to Pinterest.

Back to School Snack Ideas

What are you first day of school traditions? Historically, we have always gone out for ice cream after school. Apparently, we are not alone because we always ran into friends in our ice cream runs. One year I found myself at Target and let the kids pick up a treat in the toy aisle – I am a sucker. As more kids came along, our after school adventures ran into younger siblings naps and I had to get creative at home. Thus evolved our First Day of School Snack Ideas you can make at home.

We wanted more Back to School Snack Ideas and I am sure you did too. From Graham Cracker Pencils to Chalkboard Cookies to Apple Nutter Butter Pops, we have plenty of creative kids snacks to welcome your kids into the front door! This year, we bring you donuts!

These apple doughnuts do not disappoint. Have as a surprise after school snack for the kids or let them enjoy the process as these donuts are incredibly easy for little hands to make!

Apple Donuts Directions:

First, lay out a piece of parchment paper.

Add 1 cup of red frosting to a microwave safe bowl, heat for 15 seconds and mix.

Carefully hold the sides of each donut and dip the top into the melted red frosting, let any excess drip off and set onto the parchment paper.

Immediately top your frosted area with sprinkles.

Next, break the pretzel sticks in half and stick one into the top of each doughnut.

Form the fondant into small balls and form into a leaf.

Lastly, dip the bottom of the leaf into the frosting and stick onto the top of the donut.

Enjoy! … and as a former teacher, my suggestion is to be sure to send one in for the teacher the next day of school!
