Cut your pieces of printer paper in half widthwise, cutting half as many pieces of paper as you need cards (if you need four cards, cut two pieces of paper in half). The easiest way to cut your pieces of paper in half is to fold them in half, making just enough of a crease so that you know where to cut, rather than measuring it with a ruler.

Take your 5 1/2-by-8 1/2 inch pieces of paper and make a mark 1 1/4 in from the top and the bottom along the long edges, and 1/4 inch from the sides along the short edges. These marks give you the outline of the bingo grid that will be on your cards. Use your pencil to draw straight lines up and down and from side to side where these marks appear. This should give you a rectangle.

Mark every inch along the long and short edges of the rectangles you just drew. These marks make the grid that you can now draw using your pencil. Your grid on the bingo cards should be six boxes down and five across.

Trace your grid with your black marker once you have penciled it on your cards.

5
Write "BINGO" in the top row of boxes on your bingo cards, placing one letter in each box. You should be left with a grid of blank squares that is five by five.

Tips & Warnings
Once you fill in your blank bingo cards, you can laminate them if you want to use them more than once. You can also laminate them and then fill them in with dry-erase markers so that you can use the same blank bingo cards for several different kinds of bingo.
