These free printable multiplication bingo cards turn times-table practice into a math bingo game the whole class can play. There is a free set for every table from 2 to 12: each set has 8 different bingo boards and 12 calling cards, with US Letter and A4 PDFs. The caller reads a fact such as 5 × 7, and players cover the answer, 35, if it is on their board. Multiplication bingo turns times tables practice into a game the whole class can play.
How to play the multiplication bingo game
- Print and cut. Print the PDF for the table you are practising. Pages 1 and 2 hold 8 boards (cut them apart); the last page holds the calling cards.
- Give each player a board and a handful of counters, cereal or small paper squares.
- Call a fact. Shuffle the calling cards and read one at a time, for example “6 times 5”. Leave a few seconds to think.
- Cover the answer. Players who have the product (30) cover it. The centre square is free.
- Three in a row wins. A player with a full row, column or diagonal calls “Bingo!” and reads back the facts to check.
What is on each set

Multiplication bingo with two tables together
For a mixed review, hand out boards from two sets and shuffle both piles of calling cards together. Some answers belong to both tables, so a player can cover 12 after hearing 3 × 4 or 6 × 2. These pairs share the most answers:
| Tables | Shared answers | Which ones |
|---|---|---|
| 2s and 4s | 6 | 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 |
| 3s and 6s | 6 | 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 |
| 4s and 8s | 6 | 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 |
| 3s and 9s | 4 | 9, 18, 27, 36 |
| 6s and 9s | 4 | 18, 36, 54, 72 |
| 5s and 10s | 6 | 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 |
| 2s and 3s | 4 | 6, 12, 18, 24 |
Shared answers are a good talking point: ask players to name every fact that makes 12, or 24.
Multiplication bingo tips for teachers and parents
- Start slow. Read each fact twice and wait about five seconds before the next card.
- Keep the calling cards in a pile. They are your record for checking a winner.
- Go for a full board instead of three in a row when you want every fact practised.
- Let a child be the caller. Reading the facts aloud is practice too.
Knowing all products of two one-digit numbers from memory is a grade 3 goal in the Common Core standard 3.OA.C.7, so a bingo round is a quick way to check who is there yet.
Play a round of multiplication bingo at the end of each week to review the tables you practised.

Frequently asked questions
6 quick answers
How do you play multiplication bingo?
The caller reads a multiplication fact, and players cover its answer on their board. The first player with three in a row, column or diagonal wins after checking their answers.
Which grade is multiplication bingo for?
It fits grade 3, when children learn the facts within 100 (Common Core 3.OA.C.7), and grade 4 for review. The 11 and 12 sets are a good challenge.
Can I play with a whole class?
Yes. Each set has 8 different boards. For more than 8 players, print two copies of the boards and play for a full board, so two identical boards rarely win at the same moment.
Are these cards free?
Yes. Click Letter or A4 under any set to open the PDF, then print it. No sign-up is needed.
Can I mix two sets for a times table bingo review?
Yes. Give out boards from both sets and mix their calling cards into one pile. A few answers appear in both tables, so 12 could be covered after either 3 × 4 or 6 × 2. The 2s and 4s, for example, share six answers.
What does each math bingo printable set include?
Each set has 8 different boards and 12 calling cards, in US Letter and A4 PDFs. Pages 1 and 2 hold the boards to cut apart, and the last page holds the calling cards. Every board shows 8 of the 12 answers for its table.
