Sesame Street Bingo Cards

A gentle spotting game for fans of the classic learning street. Hand kids cards of the friendly puppet-show staples they love — the cookie-loving monster, the counting vampire, the rubber duck song — and the first to a row wins a cheer.

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

Friendly-street bingo is made for the youngest viewers, whether it is a rainy-day game, a preschool circle time, or a quiet activity while an episode plays. Start from the polka-dot template, keep the puppet-show tropes below or write your own, and you have cards ready to print in a couple of minutes.

Because every card is shuffled from the same square list, no two children get the same grid — so a classroom or a playdate group can all watch and play together while each child marks a different square.

Ideas for your game

  • Pair it with circle time

    Call out the squares during a sing-along so toddlers practice listening and matching, turning a familiar show into a gentle group learning game.

  • Use picture squares for pre-readers

    Swap word squares for simple drawings or stickers so children who cannot read yet can still find and mark each friendly face on their card.

  • Make a smaller grid

    Switch to a 3x3 card in the editor so a game finishes quickly, which keeps little players happy and ready to start a fresh round.

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.
