Free “Bachelor” Bingo
Monday nights are “Family Nights” at the Greiman homestead. I make a pot of soup, broil up some bread and invite our relations over for an easy dinner and exciting conversation. But the main conversation as of right now is: “The Bachelor”.
I decided to make things a little more interesting by creating “Bachelor Bingo” cards. It makes for watching obviously scripted reality television even more fun.
The concept was simple and the family loved taking our nights to a whole new level. With a few highlighters and my printed bingo cards, the stage was set for a night hilarity.
Here’s how to make these for yourself, whether it’s The Bachelor you are watching, or any other ridiculous reality show you might enjoy.
First, I wrote out any sayings, scenes, ridiculous date ideas or anything else involving the Bachelor out on a little scratch pad.
Then I typed it up in a document. If you are running low on ideas, you are welcome to use my list (just please give credit where credit is due!).
I found this website, Print-Bingo.com that lets you print out randomized bingo cards for free.
Pay dirt.
(I am not getting paid to review this site, received no kickbacks, and no free stuff thrown my way. I wish they would, though. Geesh. What a bunch of tightwads….)
I clicked on the, “I’ve read enough. Let me generate bingo cards” button.
Next, I clicked on, “Custom bingo cards with your own word or phrase lists.”
Lastly, I clicked the option, “Create custom bingo cards.”
That got me to this page. I chose a “free” center square with “The Rose” as the square’s contents. I made a few more choices on this page before I copied and pasted my lists into the 5 columns offered.
I chose to keep my list private, and chose the output type as “Bingo Card”.
After clicking the “submit” button, and then on the next page clicking on, “Click here to get your first set of custom bingo cards”. This is what was generated, which I just printed off.
The list was completely random-which you can choose to do, or you can make column headers and make categories for each column.
I liked the randomness, as did the family. It kept them guessing throughout the entire show. I can’t wait to play again tonight!
Because I will crush them, just like I did last week. Prepare yourselves, family, for a beatdown.
This is hilarious! Great party game! Thanks for sharing!

I can’t wait for tonight. The family has contributed more and more suggestions-I think I may do this for the Super Bowl, too. Just to keep things interesting!
Loved this idea- it’s just brilliant and a perfect solution to a rainy, cold night in with the family. Thank you for sharing this!
