My Australian bingo card after I ticked off Vegemite.

On one of my trips to Australia, while I was living in the United States, an amazing friend of mine did something fabulous for me. She gave me "Australian bingo".

The picture here tells the story of how it works: you make a grid of objects from the country that the person must photograph to win. The good news is I managed to finish it! Taking photos of each item made my trip extra fun, and well... if you want to stay in someone's head or heart during their travels.... well this works pretty darn well. ;)

How to Make Your Own Photo Bingo Game

The picture on the right is the original bingo card, but below I've redone it as a Google doc which you can edit and make it your own by following these instructions:

• Open the Australian bingo google doc.
• Click: File > Make a copy.
• Add your own flavour by inserting your own pictures and captions. You might need a little research on where they are going.... it doesn't have to be Australia! ;-)
• Print on relatively thick photo paper (regular paper will get damaged too easily).

Don't forget that the more personal and more effort you put into the card, the more touched that person will feel - so don't just copy my Google doc as is - copy it and make it personal!

Travel Bingo for Different Countries (which you can edit)

Australia Photo Bingo

This is my home country. I am extremely proud to be Australian, and especially proud of the fact that Australians don't take themselves too seriously!

Hawaii Photo Bingo

I started living in Hawaii in ~November 2020 and it blew me away... early on I wrote the very helpful article Hawaii travel tips which you should 100% read if you're traveling to Hawaii.... but it was months before I realized I should include a travel bingo card as part of my article. Here's what I came up with:
