Canada Bingo (40 Cards, 8 Ways to Win) by Teach Simple

About this resource

What's inside this resource

Canadian symbols, provinces and territories, wildlife, and coins fill forty different bingo cards in this printable game, each paired with matching call cards a caller draws and reads aloud. Items include beaver, maple leaf, loonie, toonie, Niagara Falls, totem pole, and every Canadian province and territory, giving the deck enough variety that no two of the forty cards are alike. The instructions describe eight selectable winning patterns — three line variants, two T-shapes, two U-shapes, and a squares pattern — so the same set of cards can be replayed with a different target shape each round. Students mark called items with a dabber, stamp, or small token as the caller reveals cards one at a time, and the first to complete the chosen pattern calls out "Bingo!" to win.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students will recognize Canadian provinces, territories, wildlife, landmarks, and coins by name and image.

Teaching tips

Cut apart the call sheet cards and place them in a hat or bowl before play, as the instructions describe.
Choose a different one of the eight winning patterns each round to extend replay value with the same 40 cards.
Preview the vocabulary (province names, wildlife, landmarks) with students before playing so the game reinforces rather than introduces the terms.
