Rainy day bingo for kids

Rainy day bingo turns a stuck-inside afternoon into a house-wide scavenger game. Kids hunt for objects from the board around the home — an umbrella, a blanket, a mug, a book — instead of hovering around a screen. This free printable A4 board is ready to print in seconds with no sign-up needed.

About this sheet

Rainy day bingo is a picture bingo where every square shows something children can find indoors or spot through the window on a wet day. They tick off each item as they locate it, and because the squares are illustrated even pre-readers can join in from around age four.

The indoor version turns the house itself into the game board. Children roam from room to room looking for the items on their sheet — a woolly blanket in the bedroom, the wellies in the hall, the kettle in the kitchen. It burns off energy without requiring any outdoor space.

The sheet comes in three age variants — ages 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and 10 to 12 — so the motifs are pitched at the right level for younger and older children. Print one sheet per child and set them off. First to complete a row wins.

Download the A4 PDF free with no sign-up needed. Print at home on a standard printer. You can reuse the same sheet on every rainy day — just give each child a fresh printout and they start fresh.

How to use it

Choose indoor or outdoor. The indoor version works for smaller children or proper downpours. The outdoor version is a great excuse to pull the wellies on.
Print and hand out pencils. Standard A4 print. Give each child a pencil or felt-tip to tick with.
Play around the house. Kids tick off items as they find or spot them. First to a row earns a reward — a hot chocolate, a film night or an extra story at bedtime.
