Beach Bingo: Free Printable Game for Your Next Vacation
Memorial Day Weekend is here, which means summer has officially begun! If you're heading to the beach soon, I’ve got a fun and easy BINGO-style beach game for the kids, tweens, teens—and even the adventurous adults in your crew. 😊
I created a free, editable, and printable game board you can customize and bring along for some beach vacation fun. I'm hoping my own kids (and their cousins!) will be up for playing when we get together in July. Kids rarely get “bored” while at the beach, but sometimes—especially if you are there with a large group for a week like we are—a fun group activity can be just the thing. You could even give them the whole weekend or week to complete the board, with a prize at the end (I’m thinking putt-putt or ice cream!).
Each team will get a copy of the same board, and the goal is to complete as many Bingos as possible. It’s a great way to encourage teamwork, get everyone moving, and spark lots of laughs. Even better? Watching all the photos and videos everyone captured once the game wraps up!
Since most kids love snapping pics and filming videos, this version uses a phone or device to document the fun—but you can easily adapt it for a screen-free version too. Just tweak the tasks to fit your family’s style!
Below is a list of all the items I included in our bingo board—and you can click here to download your free printable and editable version through Canva to take with you or if you just want my copy click the pdf button below. Have fun, and happy summer!
