Sing The Bingo Song

by admin

Bingo Call Songs. As you may imagine, we here at BingoPort are bingo fanatics; there are few things that get our hearts racing quite like the call of “eyes down”.Still, we have to admit that what makes the game truly special are the little rituals and eccentricities that go with the game—and what else could top that list than the bingo calls that accompany each number?

  • Bingo markers (bottle caps, plastic chips, etc.) 6 index cards, cut in half; What You Do: Create game boards: Write SING-O at the top of each paper. Then use a ruler and pencil to create a 3x3 playing grid. Choose 12 common children’s songs (see the suggested song list below). Write the title of a song in each of the nine squares.
  • Sing It Bingo is the bingo game you play and sing along to. Our games swap out the traditional bingo numbers for Artist Names and Song Titles. When you hear the song play, you mark it off your bingo sheet. Its the first team to complete the bingo sheet to win.
  • Below you can find both, the original lyrics of the Bingo song, from 1785 and the modern version lyrics: “Bingo” Lyrics Modern Version. There was a farmer who had a dog, And Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O B-I-N-G-O And Bingo was his name-o. There was a farmer who had a dog, And Bingo was his name-o. (clap)-I-N-G-O (clap)-I-N-G-O (clap)-I-N-G-O.

I’ve been thinking of ways to encourage my own children to turn to Primary songs while we are home for the next little while due to this crazy pandemic! A couple years back I had created a challenge specific to our Primary songs of the year with a easy and fun activity the kids could do each week to help us prepare for the Primary Program.

With that basic idea in mind, I thought I would create and share a Singing Time Bingo Challenge that you can customize for your ward and individual families with a simple activity they can do with their favorite Primary songs.

All Bingo Songs

This challenge can be customized to include your specific Primary songs for the month, quarter, or year, as may be needed. As it is currently setup, the challenges can work with any Primary song! You can simply include your list of songs and let families use this Bingo Challenge however it best suits them!

I’m sharing this fun Singing Time Bingo Challenge in a couple of formats! You can choose to open the file in either Word or as a PDF. The Word version will be editable, but in some instances the formatting may become skewed or off if you have a different version of the software.

Sing The Bingo Song

The Word version is fully editable. You can add specific song titles or your own challenges.

The PDF document can’t be edited. However, you can print a blank sheet and then fill in the boxes and share your completely customized Bingo Challenge sheet with your ward!

You will also find both a color and a black and white version to fit unique needs! I would recommend to download the file that best fits your needs. Then, customize the challenge to fit your Primary songs, ward, or individual needs. Then share your final version with your family and ward members.

It’s a great time to use up all those extra dot stickers you may have on hand!!
