Beach bingo

Beach bingo is a sun-soaked twist on the classic bingo game that’s perfect for families, kids, and beach lovers of all ages. Whether you’re planning a beach day with friends, organizing a summer camp activity, or just want a fun way to pass time by the shore, beach bingo is the ultimate combination of relaxation and entertainment.

How to play beach bingo

1. Use the premade beach template: Head over to Bingo Card Creator and select the ready-made beach-themed bingo card. This template is filled with vibrant beach imagery such as sunglasses, waves, flying kites, buckets and spades, ice cream, and more.
2. Choose your format: You can either print the cards for an in-person game or play digitally on your phone or tablet—perfect for sandy hands and travel lightness.
3. Spot and mark:
   • As players explore the beach, they keep an eye out for the visuals represented on their cards.
   • Whenever they see a matching item in real life, they mark that square.
   • You can play to complete a single line, four corners, an X shape, or go for a full-card blackout.
4. Declare your win: When someone meets the win condition, they shout out "Bingo!" and can share a fun story about the last thing they spotted.

The visual-based design makes it perfect for younger kids who might not read yet, while still keeping it fun for adults who enjoy a bit of beachside competition.

Alternative ways to play beach bingo

Shell token bingo

Use real beach items like shells or pebbles as bingo markers. It’s a tactile, eco-friendly way to add charm to the experience.

Nature sounds edition

Instead of visuals, make a version where players listen for things like waves crashing, seagulls calling, kids laughing, or ice cream truck music.

Hide-and-seek bingo

Have an adult hide small beach-themed toys or printed icons around the area. As players find them, they can match the item to their card and mark it off.

Water splash challenge

For each square a player marks, they get to splash a friend (or themselves!) with a bit of seawater. Perfect for hot days and silly fun.
