This is a great game for 2 to 4 players.  The picture shows (smaller than actual size) what two game boards will look like when printed.  There are two files to be printed, 4 cards total, and each one is different.  I have also included calling cards.

This is "Level 1" which has the state name and the outline of the state as well.  The calling cards show the state outline with the name of the capital city.  The caller can choose to show the shape of the state for younger kids to match the state on their bingo cards.

One player is designated to be the "caller".  The caller shuffles the cards and calls out one capital.  Each player tries to find the state that matches that capital on his/her card.  First player to get 5 in a row wins.

Variation:  You can have play continue until the entire outside edge of the card is covered, or both diagonal directions, or one column AND one row covered, or play until the entire card is covered.  Each bingo card has a different 25 of the 50 states.

The 50states1a and 50states1b are the two sets of game boards.  Once you have downloaded the files, print them out on card stock and cover with clear contact paper, or have it laminated.  The calling cards should be printed on card stock, laminated and cut apart.
