- Download the unique bingo cards as a PDF and print them on A4 or US Letter.
- Put the draw screen on the TV or projector and draw the photos one by one, with suspense and sound.
- Someone shouts “bingo!”? Type in the card number and see instantly if it’s right.
Classroom tips

- The draw screen works on the interactive whiteboard: open the site in the browser on the classroom computer.
- Photos stay on the computer where you create the game and are not uploaded. Do follow your school’s rules on pupil photos.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work on an interactive whiteboard?
Yes. PhotoBingo works in the browser. Open the draw screen on the computer connected to the whiteboard or projector.
What is photo bingo?
Photo bingo is bingo with pictures instead of numbers. Each player gets a card with photos, for example of the birthday person, the couple or colleagues. The photos are drawn one by one; the first to complete a line or a full card shouts bingo.
How many photos do I need?
At least 9 for a 3 × 3 card, 16 for 4 × 4 and 25 for 5 × 5. More photos make the cards more varied and the game more exciting. For a group of 20 to 40 players, 30 to 50 photos is ideal.
Are all bingo cards different?
Yes. PhotoBingo makes every card unique and gives it a card number, so you can check a winner in seconds.
Are my photos uploaded to the internet?
No. PhotoBingo runs in your browser and your photos stay on your own computer. They are not sent to a server.
Do I need to install an app?
No. PhotoBingo works in the browser on a laptop or computer. You only need a printer for the cards and a TV or projector for the draw screen (a laptop screen works too).
