Note: This post has been updated and a few of the squares on the Women’s Ministry Bingo game card have been changed.
Over the years this icebreaker has become one of the most popular on my site.
Groups love it and I hope yours does too!
Icebreakers are a mainstay for most Women’s Ministry events.
Icebreakers can provide:
- A way for women to get to know each other quickly.
- An opportunity for women to chat freely.
- Lots of laughter!
This Women’s Ministry Bingo game checks all of the boxes!
Your women will enjoy working the room and discovering new things about each other.
Women’s Ministry Bingo is best suited for groups of 20 or more and is suitable for events and activities that allow for some movement.
It’s great for an initial Bible study meeting, Coffee, Book club, Fellowship, Service activity, Mommy Group, Luncheon, Dinner, Annual Kick-off, etc.
Directions are included below and in the downloadable PDF file along with the Bingo card.

Print off your copy and have fun with your group!
I’ve gotten several emails and just want to clarify that there is no need for you to email or ask for my permission. 🙂 Go ahead and print and use!
Women’s Ministry Bingo
Group size: 20 or more
Time needed: 10 minutes (1 row); 20 minutes (whole card) see notes below
Supplies needed:
One copy of the bingo card for each person
One pen per person
Small prize for the winner
Instructions:
- Distribute cards and pens to everyone in attendance.
- Say: Today (tonight) we’re going to play a game of bingo with a twist! Your task for the next several minutes is to search the room for women who match the descriptions listed on your bingo card. When you find a match, ask them to put their signature in that box. Search carefully though, as you can only have each woman sign ONE box. And search quickly as the first one to fill the entire card wins a prize. Let us know your card is full by shouting “Women!” Grab your pens and you may start NOW!
- Optional wrap-up – Read through the descriptions on each square and have the women stand if it describes them.
Notes: If your group is smaller (40 – 20 women) have them collect 2 signatures per person. For a shorter game (and less mingling) have them just fill one straight row – down, across, or diagonal.

Bri W says
Can I use your bingo? And do I just type in those words on the myfreebingocards website? How do I generate the different cards?
Cyndee Ownbey says
Hi Bri, you are welcome to use my bingo game. I’m not sure what website you are referring to… I’m guessing it’s an add that’s popped up on my site.
I don’t know how it works. I hope your group enjoys it!
Elisa Randall says
Just downloaded the Women’s Ministry Bingo card and noticed one of the squares is duplicated. I’m hoping to use this activity at my next women’s event on April 1. Is this something that could be updated before then? Thanks!
Cyndee Ownbey says
Oh goodness! Sorry about that! It’s been fixed!
Carmela says
Good Morning Cyndee…Thank you so much for the great icebreakers!
I am going to use “A Day In The Life.” 🙂 Carmela
Cyndee Ownbey says
You’re so welcome, Carmela! I hope your group enjoys it! 🙂
Vicky Wu says
I’d like to use many of your ideas on your bingo card for our women’s ministry tea in Issaquah, Wahington, in May. Would that be okay with you?
Cyndee Ownbey says
Yes, Vicky! That is what they are here for. 🙂 Praying your tea is a blessing for all in attendance! <3
Amy LasCola says
May I have permission to reprint the Women’s Ministry Bingo game for the leaders of the Bible study at my church, Mount of Olives, in Mission Viejo, CA?
Cyndee Ownbey says
Amy – Yes, absolutely! 🙂 I hope your women enjoy it!
Cyndee Ownbey says
I am thrilled so many of you are using this! Would you like me to create additional versions?
Andrea Sanborn says
Is there a way I can customize this Bingo card?
Cyndee Ownbey says
Andrea,
Sorry, there is not. You would have to create your own… There’s a table feature in Word that makes it pretty easy.
