French Colors bingo at a glance

How long French Colors bingo lasts

Simulated over 150 shuffled games on cards 1-60 of this set: the median first line arrives on call 12 with 30 players and on call 14 with 10, while a blackout takes 36 calls, roughly 6 minutes at 10 seconds a call.

How to host French Colors bingo

1. 1

   Print the French Colors cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with bleu, vert, bordeaux, kaki and la neige blanche.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 40 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with brun, le citron jaune, rose, l'ours brun and kaki; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   When “la grenouille verte” comes up, ask players to say it with a masculine noun, such as “le crayon vert”, and listen for the silent final t.

4. 4

   Point out that “orange” and “marron” never change, so “la carotte orange” keeps the same ending, while “blanc” becomes “blanche”.

5. 5

   Call “bleu marine” and “bleu foncé” back to back and ask which one is the color of a sailor's uniform.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (gris in this set's order) and a blackout near call 36; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

French Colors bingo variations

• French Colors variation

  Agreement bingo: the caller says only a noun with its article, like “la mer”, and players mark any phrase whose color agrees with that noun's gender, then say the color in the right form.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, bleu to gris; on average one card fills after 39.4 of the 40 calls (98% of the deck).

• Picture bingo for pre-readers

  Use 3x3 cards with the 12 entries that have a symbol, such as la pomme rouge, la grenouille verte and le citron jaune.
