German Colors bingo at a glance

How long German Colors bingo lasts

This list was simulated 150 times in random call orders on its first 60 cards. A room of 30 usually has a line by call 12, which is about 2 minutes at 10 seconds a call, and a full card by call 36 of 39.

How to host German Colors bingo

1. 1

   Print the German Colors cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with türkis, schwarz, violett, golden and die weiße Wolke.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 39 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with bunt, die rote Erdbeere, der blaue Himmel, schwarz and der grüne Frosch; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   When “der rosa Flamingo” comes up, point out that “rosa” and “lila” usually keep the same form before a noun, unlike “blau” in “der blaue Himmel”.

4. 4

   Build compounds on the board as you call “hell” and “dunkel” squares, and ask the class to invent new ones, such as “hellrot” or “dunkelgelb”.

5. 5

   Group the phrases by article as they are called, der, die and das, so learners see that the -e ending stays the same after the definite article.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

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

German Colors bingo variations

• German Colors variation

  Opposite-shade bingo: the caller says a light shade, like “hellgrün”, and players mark the dark version, “dunkelgrün”, if they have it, or any phrase with the base color, such as “das grüne Gras”.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, türkis to orange; on average one card fills after 38.4 of the 39 calls (98% of the deck).

• Picture bingo for pre-readers

  Use 3x3 cards with the 13 entries that have a symbol, such as das grüne Gras, die gelbe Sonne and der weiße Schnee.
