Skeletal System Bingo Cards

Bones Bingo Card

These cards are about Bones. The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. At birth, there are almost 300 present but as the body grows, many fuse together. This list includes some of the major bones in our skeletal system. These include words like carpals, fibula, mandible, radius, and sternum.

We made the cards using Bingo Card Creator. You can download a PDF file of eight cards ready to cut up and play.

How To Play Skeletal System Bingo

  1. Print out your free Bones bingo boards, or make custom ones with Bingo Card Creator. Click here to get started.
  2. Give one card to each player.
  3. Call off words randomly, for example by using a call list. You can either just say a word, like "metatarsals", or you can make up a more involved clue involving metatarsals.
  4. When a word is called, each player should find it and mark it.
  5. The first player(s) to clear five words in any direction (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins a small prize.

Notes: How long a bingo game lasts depends on what pace you read the clues at and how many players you have. If you read faster, such as for older or more experienced students, or if you have more players, the game tends to end more quickly. In general, I suggest allocating between twenty and thirty minutes to a bingo game. Since they can potentially end as early as the fourth word called, though that is quite rare, I encourage you to keep playing in the event of the game being over earlier than you expected it to be.
