TV Westerns Bingo
A ready-made tv westerns 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
For two decades the television schedule was full of sheriffs, ranches and long trails west — half-hour adventures that families watched together. This bingo theme collects the shows, characters and frontier words of that television era.
Each printed set uses twenty-four of the collection's thirty words, laid out differently on every card with a FREE centre square. Hand the cards around, read from the caller list at a comfortable pace, and let the titles bring back whoever used to watch along.

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
- Read the show names in the voice of a picture-house announcer — it always gets a laugh.
- Pause between calls so players can name their favourite character from each series.
- A four-card set suits a table of four; six cards fill a larger sitting room.
- Use pencils rather than pens so the cards can be played again next week.
- No timer and no entry fee — bingo suits any group and any pace.
