Herbs & Spices Bingo Cards

A game for a cooking class, a spice-tasting, or a kitchen-themed party. Cards are filled with real herbs and spices — thyme, paprika, turmeric — and the first to a full line wins.

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

Herbs and spices bingo fits a cooking class, a guess-the-seasoning game, or a foodie party. Use it as a smell-and-mark tasting, keep the seasonings below or add what is in your spice rack, and cards print in a couple of minutes.

Because every card is shuffled from the same square list, no two players get the same grid, so a whole class or dinner party can play together and each person still hunts for their own seasonings.

Ideas for your game
  • Turn it into a smell test

    Set out small jars and call each seasoning by scent instead of name, so players sniff and mark — a fun way to learn a spice rack by nose.

  • Pair it with a cooking class

    Mark each herb or spice as it goes into the dish, so the recipe itself calls the game and students learn what each seasoning does.

  • Print a stack or play on phones

    Print a batch for the class, or share one link and a QR code so players mark seasonings from their own phones around a shared tasting table.

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.

Questions

How do I make a spice bingo card free?

Open the editor, pick the garden theme, keep the suggested seasonings or type your own, and print. You can design and print a basic set without paying.

Are herbs and spices both included?

Yes, the squares mix fresh herbs like basil and thyme with ground spices like cumin and turmeric, so the card covers a full kitchen rack of seasonings.

Can I play it as a smell game?

You can. Set out jars and call each square by scent rather than name so players identify and mark seasonings by smell during the game.

Can I print the cards at home?

Yes. The print view is sized for standard letter and A4 paper, so any home printer works, and you can also order professionally printed cards.
