I can’t believe summer is almost here!
Owen gets out of school next week and then the fun gets to begin!
You may remember our summer bucket list from last year. Well, this year I decided to change things up a bit and make a summer bingo board.
I copied some ideas from last year and then added a few I found on Studio 5’s site here.
When we get six in a row we get to go get ice cream. If we get blackout we get to eat out at Red Lobster, my boys’ all time favorite restaurant. When I told them, they flipped out with excitement. I hope they always stay this easy to please. 馃檪
I like the idea of being rewarded for having fun…makes it even more exciting!
If you want play along, here’s a blank bingo chart.
Just right click and save to your computer. Then add text in Picasa or Photoshop before printing at your local print shop. It’s sized to 11×17. Mine is printed on a 13×19 so it has more white space around the border.
I also decided to change up our chore system for the summer.
Each week they get a chore bingo chart with a mix of some relaxed and some challenging “chores” which include reading goals, school work sheets, and normal housework.
You are welcome to grab one as well if you like.
I still haven’t decided on rewards yet. Any ideas?
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
Such a fun idea!
LOVE this! We were just trying to figure out how we are going to display our summer bucket list!
I want a chore bingo card for myself! I would get so many prizes for doing things I have to do anyway. Surely the grown-ups can join in on the fun? 馃檪
Very, very fun! Love the bucket list done this way 馃檪
This is absolutely adorable! I LOVE it. The summer bingo looks to cute and fun. I might just have to whip one of those up. Awesome idea, Delia.

Love it! pinned the summer chart. Thanks 馃檪
So creative of coarse! That is fun to have rewards for having fun and chores!
What a great idea! I seriously love this and will for sure be doing one!
Very clever!!!
I *ADORE* this idea! And thanks for sharing your goodies! 馃槈
I say reward the chore chart with an activity the boys enjoy. Maybe a trip to the park, family game, riding bikes – whatever they already enjoy that is good for them too! I'll have to use this idea when mine get older!
I love CMK Mama's idea of rewarding them with a fun activity – maybe one of the activities on the Summer Bingo list.
Love the row & blackout ideas…motivation for Mom to finish the Bingo card too :o) Some of the things my boys put on our list a few years ago were doozies and Mom never quite got around to getting them done. The Bingo card limits the options so only the best
Delia! These are genius! I am printing mine out today for my kids. You are totally awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!
such a great idea!! I am going to try this for my own kids!!
Oh my word, this is CUTE!!
I just used your blank bingo chart to create a custom one for our family. Thank you for creating and SHARING that with all of us!

What an awesome idea! Will be doing this in my house too! That should keep them happy and busy. Thanks!
absolutely genius!
thought this was a great idea and I pinned it.
I definitely love this! They are beautifully done, as well. Thanks for sharing the template. As a fanatic of online bingo games, this gave me great idea how to do my bucket list! I know it took some time to create these, and now all I have to do is hit print.
