How many songs should a music bingo list have?

A list of 40 to 75 songs works best for most games: every card gets a different mix, and the game keeps moving. The table shows what changes with the length of your list.

Songs in your listWhat happens in the game
Fewer than 25Not enough to fill a card. The generator asks for more songs
Exactly 25Every card has the same songs in a different order. Lines are won at different times, but everybody completes the full card on the same song
40 to 75Each card has its own mix. Some songs you play are on a player's card and some are not, as in number bingo
More than 75Each card holds a small share of the list, so a full card takes longer. Suits a whole evening rather than one round

For the length of the evening, count the songs: if you play about one minute of each song, a list of 50 songs takes about 50 minutes, plus the time for checking winning cards.

How to run a game of music bingo

  1. Build your playlist. Put the same songs, in any order, into a playlist on the music service you use.
  2. Print the cards. One card per player or per team, plus the host list for yourself.
  3. Agree the prizes. Say before you start what wins: usually one complete line first, then the full card.
  4. Shuffle your playlist. Play enough of each track for players to recognise it, then tick it off on the host list.
  5. Check the winner. When someone shouts, compare their crossed-off songs with your ticked list.

Music bingo cards: common questions

How many songs do I need for music bingo?

You need at least 25 songs, because every card has 25 squares. With exactly 25 songs, every card has the same songs in a different order, so everyone completes the full card at the same moment. A list of 40 to 75 songs gives each card a different mix.

Does the generator include the music?

No. The generator only prints the song titles you type in. You play the songs yourself, for example from your own playlist, and tick them off on the host list that comes with the cards.

How many cards can I make?

You can make between 1 and 100 cards in one PDF. No two cards are the same. You can print one large card per A4 page or two smaller cards per page.

Do I need an account, and what happens to my song list?

You do not need an account or an email address. Your song list and title are used once to build the PDF and are not saved on our server.

How do you win at music bingo?

The host decides before the game starts. Most games give a first prize for one complete line of five songs and a main prize for the full card of 25 songs.
