Types of Primates Bingo Cards

Primates Bingo Card

These cards are about Primates. Compared to most other animals, Primates, which include monkeys, apes and gorillas, have large brains relative to their body size. Primates vary greatly in size. The mouse lemur weighs a few ounces while the gorilla can weigh as much as 400 lbs. These include words like Brown Lemur, Cotton-top Tamarin, Owl Monkey, Re Uakari, and Squirrel Monkey.

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 Types of Primates Bingo

  1. Print out your free Primates 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 "Potto", or you can make up a more involved clue involving Potto.
  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. Almost 90% of bingo games with a 25 word list and 25 players will see their first bingo within 7 to 11 words being called.
