Multiplication Bingo
A fact is called out; find the answer on your bingo card before time runs out. A free multiplication bingo for any device. Grades 3–5.
🧒 Kids: Listen for the fact, find the answer on your card and tap it. Get 5 in a row to shout BINGO! 🎉
How to play
- Choose the times tables, the time per call and whether calls are read aloud.
- Press Start bingo. You get a 5 × 5 card of answers with a FREE space in the middle.
- A fact is called, like “7 × 8”. Find 56 on your card and tap it before the timer runs out.
- A wrong tap shakes the square; try again. If time runs out, the answer is shown and a new fact is called.
- Five in a row, column or diagonal is BINGO!
What your child practices
Bingo practices the answers, not just the facts: children hear or read 7 × 8, work out 56, then search the card for it. Scanning for the number keeps the answer in mind a little longer, which helps it stick. The read-aloud voice also helps children who are still learning to read the × sign.
Settings to try, by grade
- Grade 2: 2, 5 and 10 tables, Relaxed timing, calls read aloud.
- Grade 3: 2 to 10, Normal timing.
- Grade 4: 2 to 12, Fast timing.
- Grades 5 and up: 6 to 9 on Fast, the facts that slow down long division.
Change one setting at a time. If your child wins or gets every answer right twice in a row, move up a step. If they miss more than three in a game, move back down for a few days. Wins should feel close but possible: that is when children stay keen and learn the most.
After the game
Look at the missed calls together. If the same table keeps coming up, spend the next few days on that table's page: each one has a trick, patterns and a 1-minute challenge. A blank multiplication chart to fill in is a good quiet follow-up, and the flash cards help with the last few stubborn facts.
Tips for parents
- Use “Relaxed” timing at first. Move to “Fast” when your child gets bingo with no missed calls.
- Turn on “Read calls aloud” for younger children.
- Play the same tables for a week, then add the next ones.
- After bingo, read the missed calls together.
In the classroom
Project the game and play as a class: the computer calls, children find the answer on their own paper bingo cards, and the board on screen keeps everyone honest. Or let pairs play on tablets.
