How to Set Up and Play Cinco de Mayo Bingo
Setting up your Cinco de Mayo bingo game is quick and easy.
It’s a simple setup, and once you’re ready to play, the excitement kicks in fast.
These printable bingo cards are free for personal and classroom use. Scroll to the bottom of the post to grab the PDF.
Getting Started
Print enough bingo cards for your group. There are five unique boards included, but you can print duplicates if you’re playing with a larger crowd.
You’ll also need markers—use anything you have on hand: dried beans, coins, stickers, or even paper scraps.
Cut out the calling cards and, if you plan to reuse them, laminating them can help them last through more than one round of fun.
Decide ahead of time what counts as a winning pattern. It could be a straight line, diagonal, or something trickier like an “X” or blackout (full card). And don’t forget—each board includes a free space.
How to Play
Hand out one bingo card and a small pile of markers to each player.
Review the rules so everyone knows what to watch for and how to win.
Mix up the calling cards and start drawing them one by one, saying each item aloud.
Players mark the matching spot on their cards. When someone completes a winning pattern, they shout “Bingo!” Pause the game and check their board.
If you’d like, keep playing for second and third place winners—or reshuffle and start again.
Extra Ideas
Use this as more than just a game—make it a cultural moment. Point out what each symbol means, talk about the significance of the holiday, and let kids ask questions or share what they know.
To keep energy up, offer small prizes for winners—Cinco de Mayo stickers, themed erasers, or simple party favors work well.
A few decorations—red, white, and green streamers or mini flags—can also add to the festive feel without much extra effort.

Cinco de Mayo Books For Preschoolers
Books are always my go-to when introducing a holiday, and these Cinco de Mayo books for kids are perfect for little ones. They’re colorful, fun, and simple enough to keep young kids interested while giving them a feel for the celebration.
- Cinco de Mouse-O! This one’s always a hit. It follows a little mouse who stumbles into a Cinco de Mayo parade, and the story is just the right mix of silly and sweet. The pictures are super bright, and it’s great for a quick storytime.
- Cinco de Mayo (Holidays in Rhythm and Rhyme). If your preschooler likes rhyming books, this is a good pick. It goes over the basics of the holiday in a fun, easy way. We read it last year before doing some themed coloring pages, and it tied in really well.
- Marco’s Cinco de Mayo. This one’s more of a story-with-a-message. Marco shares how his family celebrates the day, and it’s great for starting conversations about culture and traditions. It’s simple enough for preschoolers but still meaningful.
