About Weather Picture bingo
A picture bingo card for pre-readers: every square shows a weather symbol with its word, from Sun, Cloud and Rain to Tornado, Hurricane and Rainbow, plus the clothes and activities that go with each kind of weather, like Scarf, Sunglasses, Kite and Sled. It suits preschool circle time, early ESL lessons and daily weather-chart routines.
42 entries make up this Weather Picture set. With 24 per card, any single one, Snowy mountain for example, appears on about 57% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 17 of them have it.
The caller reads the 42 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.

Print the Weather Picture cards
Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Snowflake, Sunglasses, Mostly cloudy, Sled and Partly cloudy.
-
Print the caller sheet
All 42 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Thermometer, Fog, Wind chime, Winter coat and Moon; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Start each school day by calling today's real weather, such as Partly cloudy or Rain, and let the class mark it; a card fills up over two or three weeks.
-
Pair a weather square with what to wear: when you call Snowfall, ask who has Winter coat or Gloves, and when you call Sun, ask for Sun hat or Sunglasses.

For ESL beginners, say each word twice and show the picture; Mostly sunny and Mostly cloudy are tricky pairs that need the image.

Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (Mostly sunny in this set's order) and a blackout near call 38; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Are all Weather Picture bingo cards the same?
No. Card 1 and card 2 of this set share 13 of their 24 squares, and every card is checked so none of the 30 in a free set repeats. About 2.19 × 10³⁵ different arrangements are possible from the 42 entries (353,697,121,050 different selections of 24).

Two cards suit adults who want a faster game; young children do best with one. A free set of 30 covers 15 players on two cards each.

A Weather Picture game with 30 players usually reaches its first line after 12 calls (8-15 in 80% of simulated games), about 2 minutes at one call every 10 seconds. A blackout takes about 38; with 10 players the first line needs about 15.
Can I print Weather Picture bingo cards for free?
Yes, up to 30 unique cards per set at no cost and without an account. Pick how many you need, then use Print cards or Download PDF: each card gets its own page with the title “Weather Picture Bingo” on top, and the caller sheet lists all 42 entries in this set's shuffled order.
How do I make my own Weather Picture bingo cards?
Open Edit words in the generator above: it already holds the 42 entries, one per line. Replace Mostly sunny with something from your own group, add inside jokes or names, and the sample card redraws at once. 5x5 cards need 24 entries or more.
Is there a picture version of Weather Picture bingo?
42 of the 42 entries have a picture symbol (☀️ Sun, 🌤️ Mostly sunny, ⛅ Partly cloudy, 🌥️ Mostly cloudy). Print 3x3 cards with symbol entries such as Cloud and Sun shower for children who cannot read yet; symbols show on screen and in browser printing.
