How to Play Road Trip Bingo

Road trip bingo is a visual scavenger hunt game you play while traveling. As you look out the window, you check off things you see on your bingo card.

Here’s how to play:

  1. Print the bingo cards — 5 different sheets to choose from.
  2. Give each player a different card.
  3. Use a pencil, crayon, or marker to check off items as you see them.
  4. Choose how to win:
    • Line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal)
    • Four corners
    • Blackout (fill the whole board!)

Tip: Want to reuse the cards? Laminate them and use dry-erase markers for multiple trips.

Make It Even More Fun

  • Hand out a small prize for the first person to call BINGO
  • Play in teams (kids vs adults, front seat vs back seat)
  • Use it as a road trip scavenger hunt instead of bingo
  • Set a time limit: “Who can get the most squares in 30 minutes?”
