TV & Movies Bingo

About this bingo theme

Classic television and film gave us characters and catchphrases that everyone recognises — sitcom families, sci-fi crews, game shows and silver-screen stars. This bingo theme turns that shared screen history into tabletop fun.

Make one to six cards from the theme's words, each with a different layout and a FREE centre. Use the caller list to read the titles and names aloud, and let the game spark its own episode-by-episode reminiscing between calls.

Make and print cards

• Open the bingo card maker and choose TV & Movies from the theme list.
• Generate 1, 2, 4 or 6 cards — every card uses a different random layout.
• Press Word caller list to read and tick the words off as you call.
• Cards print in clean black ink; choose Save as PDF to keep a copy.

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

• A table of four works well with a 4-card set printed on one sheet.
• Read the caller list slowly and repeat each word twice.
• Let players swap cards between rounds so everyone gets a fresh layout.
• No timer and no entry fee — bingo suits any group and any pace.
