Bingo ideas / For volunteers and trainees

American Red Cross Bingo Cards

A friendly game for a blood drive, a first-aid class, or a volunteer appreciation event. Squares cover the moments and tasks of humanitarian service, so participants mark each one as it comes up during the day.

Free to design and print · edit any square · 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5

This card celebrates the work of humanitarian volunteers and the skills taught in lifesaving courses. Use it at a blood drive, a CPR class, or a disaster-relief training as an icebreaker that gets people talking about service while they play.

Start from the plain template, keep the service-themed squares below or tailor them to your chapter's activities, and print a card per person in minutes. Because every card is shuffled from the same list, everyone gets a different grid and the room stays engaged.

Ideas for your game

  • Use it as a training icebreaker

    Hand cards out at the start of a first-aid course so trainees mark skills as they learn them, turning the lesson into an interactive checklist.

  • Brighten a blood drive

    Give donors a card to mark while they wait and recover, with squares for each step from sign-in to the post-donation snack table.

  • Print a stack or play live

    Print a batch for an event table, or share one link and a QR code so a volunteer group can play from their phones during a long shift.

Editable and printable

Edit every square. Open the card in the editor, keep the suggested squares or replace them with your own words, emoji, or photos, and pick a theme that fits the day.

Print a whole set at once. Each card is shuffled from the same square list, so every player gets a unique grid. Print to standard letter or A4 paper on any home printer — or order professionally printed cards shipped to your door.

Or play live. Share one link and a QR code and the whole room plays from their phones, in person or over video.
