Share via

Valentine’s Day is a time for love, friendship, and fun. Add an extra element of excitement with this Valentine’s Day bingo game. Perfect for parties or family game night.

What you'll need

Here's what you'll need to play Valentine's Day bingo:

  • Valentine-themed bingo cards (can be purchased or printed for free online)

  • Place markers such as candy hearts, chocolate kisses, or small trinkets

  • Small container to hold the markers

  • Pen and paper to keep track of called numbers

How to play

  1. Give each player a bingo card and a marker.

  2. Have someone draw number cards or call out numbers at random.

  3. Players can mark off the corresponding numbers on their card with their chosen markers.

  4. The first player to get five in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts "Bingo!" and wins that round.

  5. If desired, you can play multiple rounds with different winning patterns (such as four corners or an "X").

Tips for a fun game

  • To add more excitement, consider having small or tiered prizes for the winners of each round.

  • You can also have players make their own custom bingo cards using stickers, markers, and other craft supplies.

  • For younger players, use pictures or symbols instead of numbers for an easier game.

  • To make it a couples' game, have partners share one bingo card and take turns marking off the numbers.

Create your own DIY Valentine's Day bingo cards

  1. First off, grab a piece of paper or cardstock. Sketch out a square grid with five rows and five columns on it - this will be the base of your bingo card.

  2. Next, let's jazz it up a bit. Write "BINGO" at the top of your card, filling each square underneath with a Valentine-themed word, phrase, or picture. Want to get the whole family involved? Use stickers, stamps, or even magazine cutouts. Remember: No two cards should be the same.

  3. Make a list of the designs in each box so the bingo caller can pick from them at random.

  4. Now, you're going to want to make copies of your card. Once you've got those, draw or print out small numbers to use as markers for your game.

You're all set to play Valentine's Day bingo. Just follow the same rules as regular bingo, and have fun with your loved ones!
