Next, gather all of your bingo sets, and laminate them at this time. If you can it’s worth the investment as you’ll be able to use the bingo sets for many years to come. Also, laminate the teacher calling cards. You’ll want to add these to a sandwich bag so they stay together.

When your bingo sets are ready, you can add them to a manila folder that you’ve labeled with the bingo name on it, or just add it to the hanging file. Those can be labeled as well. In each file , make sure you include the bingo cards and the teacher-calling cards.

Last you’ll want to take your colored scrap paper and cut a whole bunch of bingo markers. YAdd them to another sandwich bag and add an extra hanging file folder to put them in. You could do several different bags of different colors to use different ones each time.

And there you have your Bingo Box! You are now ready for a fun-filled easy grab-and-go activity to use all year long! Tag us on Facebook or Instagram if you make one of your own!
