Sunday Funnies & Comics Bingo
A ready-made sunday funnies & comics bingo game: this page shows all 24 words on the cards, explains the rules, and links straight to the card maker for a printable 5×5 set with a FREE centre square.
About this bingo theme
The Sunday papers arrived with a colour section that everyone fought over — comic strips with familiar families, heroes and talking animals. This bingo theme collects the strips, characters and cartooning words of that reading habit.
Each printed set uses twenty-four of the collection's thirty words, arranged differently on every card around the FREE centre square. Print as many cards as you have readers, open the caller list, and start the game.

The 30 words in this theme
This collection holds 30 words. Every printed set draws twenty-four of them, so a freshly drawn game can be made whenever you like — and all the cards in one set share the same twenty-four words, just in different places. Words appear on the cards as single strings of capital letters with spaces removed, and each card holds 24 of them around the FREE centre square.

How to play bingo
- Each player takes a card — the same words appear in a different place on every card.
- One person reads words from the caller list, one at a time.
- Players mark any word they have. The middle square is FREE.
- First to mark a full line — across, down or diagonal — calls “Bingo!” For a longer game, play for a full house.
Hints for running this theme
- Ask which strip each player turned to first on a Sunday morning.
- Read the character names aloud and let the room shout out the strip they belong to.
- Print one extra card so the caller can play along between calls.
- Pencils are kinder than pens if you plan to reuse the cards.
- No timer and no entry fee — bingo suits any group and any pace.
