A language-class game built on ways to say hello around the world — players mark each greeting as they hear or read it, learning words from many tongues.
Free to design and print · edit any square · 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5
International greetings bingo gathers ways to say hello from across the globe — Bonjour, Hola, Konnichiwa, Namaste, and more. Each square is a real greeting in a real language, so players pick up words and pronunciations from many cultures while they play a round together.
Start from the template, keep the greeting squares below or focus on the languages your class is studying, and print a set in minutes. Each card is shuffled from the same list, so everyone gets a unique grid while learning the same set of greetings.
These are just a starting point — swap in your own words in the editor before you print.
Call greetings aloud
Say each greeting with its proper pronunciation as you call it, so students learn to hear and repeat the sounds, not just match the spelling on the grid.
Name the language
Announce which country or language each greeting comes from as you call it, turning the game into a quick tour of where these hellos are spoken.
