About this sheet

Travel bingo is a picture bingo made to be played on the move. Each square shows something the children can spot — a plane in the sky, a ferry, a foreign number plate — and they tick it off as they see it. Because the motifs are simple, even the youngest can join in.

The game suits every way of travelling. It gives children something to look for out of the window instead of a screen, whether you are in a car, on a plane, ferry or train. There is always something new to find, and it needs no preparation beyond printing the sheet.

The sheet comes in three age variants: 4–6 with simpler motifs, 7–9, and 10–12 with more and slightly harder things to find. Each board has at least 25 squares.

You download the sheet for free with no sign-up, and print it on A4 at home before you leave. Print one board per child. The rule is simple: first to five in a row, and for the youngest you can fill the whole board instead.

How to use it

1. Pick an age and print. Choose an age per child, download the PDF and print it on A4 at home before you leave.
2. Pack the sheets in the bag. Put the sheets in a plastic folder with colouring pencils in the hand luggage or back seat. A firm surface makes it easier to tick things off on the move.
3. Play on the journey. The children cross off motifs they spot. Decide in advance what counts — a row, a cross or the whole board. The winner picks the next pit-stop snack.
