Whatever option you decide, make sure all of the players know the winning pattern before starting the game. Or even the outside perimeter of the card.

Or even vertically across the board.īlackout where every object is marked off is a fun variation along with four corners. Players can try to mark off all of the objects within a row or column.

The winner gets to sit there until the next camper gets a bingo. Tip: Of course you should win something if you bingo, so just designate a “King’s Throne”, or “Captain’s Chair.” It can be a seat at the head of the table, the favorite camp chair everyone likes, or even a seat next to the adult caller.

When a player gets four in a row they can yell bingo! It might not be unusual for more than one player to bingo at a time, so the first to call bingo wins.

This continues until any player calls bingo!.

The calling cards are shuffled and placed face down, then one card at a time is drawn, the “caller” shows the card so everyone can see the picture, and the name, then if they have that picture on their card they place a bingo marker on it.

Each camper gets a bingo card and a handful of bingo markers.

Instead of numbers in a cage, Outdoor Bingo uses picture cards that include a picture and the name of the item called.

Outdoor bingo plays just like regular bingo, the object is to complete a row across, down, or diagonally, but instead of calling numbers, things found in nature are called by using pictures and words.Īs kids are anxiously awaiting the next call they will be studying their card to see what they need, (and secretly wishing that the one they need is called next), and while they are staring at that acorn or caterpillar, or squirrel, they will also be learning about things they can find in their camping surroundings.

When you are camping with kids, you need to be prepared with games and activities that kids will enjoy, and when they play Nature’s Outdoor Bingo they are combining a game they love with learning about the things in nature that are all around them. Kids love to play games, and everyone loves Bingo.
