To print bingo cards, you can design your own cards using a word processor or desktop publishing program, or you can easily create customized bingo cards using the website link below. When you print the bingo cards, you may want to use heavy paper, such as cardstock, which is available in a variety of colors at most office supply stores. Make sure to choose cardstock that’s compatible with the type of printer you have. To make your printed bingo cards last longer, you may also want to laminate them by covering them with clear contact paper.
