This fun BINGO card game teaches ways we can make others feel welcome and comfortable coming to church each Sunday. Children cover the pictures on their bingo card when it is shown to the group. The first player to complete a row of pictures is the winner!
Print the Bingo board cards onto heavier cardstock. If you require more than four boards for your family or class, Print two of each board and there will be two winners each time. Color, cut out and laminate the Bingo Board Cards. Print the individual cards and a total of 36 heart cards onto cardstock as well. Color, cut out and laminate for durability.
Give each player a Bingo Board and 9 Heart Cards. Shuffle the deck of individual cards and place the deck face down. Take turns turning over one card and showing to all players. Each card represents a way we can make others feel welcome and comfortable when they come to church. When a picture is shown, each player finds that picture on their card (if they have it) and covers it with a heart card. Keep taking turns until one player has covered a single row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally on their Bingo Board. That player is the first winner! Keep playing until the next player gets an "X" corner to corner covered. Finally, play until someone gets a picture frame (all the outside edge) covered. Have fun playing over and over again and learning how to be a welcoming individual to all who attend church each Sunday!
