Two Levels
Pick the right level for your students
Money bingo grows with your class. Start with picture recognition, then move up to counting coins — same game, more challenge.
Level 1 · Grades PreK–2
Coin & Bill Bingo
A 4×4 card of real coins and bills. The caller shows or names the money and students cover the matching picture — perfect for building money recognition.
Level 2 · Grades 2–5
Counting Money Bingo
A 5×5 card of money amounts with a free space. The caller shows a group of coins and students add them up, then cover the total — counting practice that feels like a game.
How to Play
Set up money bingo in five steps
- Print a bingo card for each player — Level 1 for beginners or Level 2 for counting — plus the matching calling-card deck.
- Give each player a card and a handful of markers. Coins, beans, buttons, or bingo chips all work.
- Shuffle the calling cards. The caller draws one and shows it: Level 1 shows a coin or bill; Level 2 shows a group of coins to add up.
- Players cover the matching square — the pictured coin or bill, or the amount the coins add up to.
- The first player to cover a full line (or a blackout) calls “Bingo!” Check the covered squares against the caller’s checklist.
Ways to Play
Six ways to play money bingo
Straight Line
Cover a full row, column, or diagonal to win — the classic, quickest game.
Four Corners
Cover all four corner squares. A fast round when you are short on time.
Blackout
Cover every square on the card. The longest game and the best counting practice.
Name It
In Coin & Bill Bingo, the caller shows the coin without naming it — students identify it themselves.
Show the Coins
In Counting Money Bingo, the caller shows the coins and students add them up before covering the total.
Beat the Clock
Set a timer and see how many squares the whole class can cover before time runs out.

Common Questions
Money Bingo FAQ
Is money bingo free?
Yes. Level 1 (Coin & Bill Bingo) is free with no sign-in. Level 2 (Counting Money Bingo) and the complete set are free with a Money Instructor account.
What is included?
Two levels of bingo. Each level has a deck of 8 unique player cards and a matching set of cut-apart calling cards with a caller’s checklist. The complete set bundles both levels in one file.
What is the difference between the two levels?
Level 1 — Coin & Bill Bingo — uses pictures of real coins and bills for recognition, so the caller shows or names the money and students cover the matching picture. Level 2 — Counting Money Bingo — uses money amounts, so the caller shows a group of coins and students add them up before covering the total.
How many students can play?
Each level comes with 8 unique cards, so up to 8 players (or 8 teams) can play with different cards at once. For a larger class, print the card sheet more than once — or have students play in pairs.
What grades is money bingo for?
Level 1 works for preschool through about grade 2 and for any student learning to recognize money. Level 2 fits grades 2 to 5 and anyone practicing counting money.
What do we use to cover the squares?
Anything small works — bingo chips, pennies, dried beans, or buttons. You can also print a second card sheet and cut out paper squares.
How do I run the caller?
Print and cut the calling cards, shuffle them, and draw one at a time. Show the picture (Level 1) or the group of coins (Level 2) and mark it on the caller’s checklist so you can confirm a winner.
