Valentine bingo cards

The set on this page

Valentine bingo cards, 5 by 5, 12 cards, 2 to a sheet: 24 squares a card with the middle one free, 6 sheets and 7 pages. The words set at 15.63 pt in squares of 37.2 by 23.85 mm.

What is on the list

Thirty-six of them: heart, rose, ribbon, a love letter, lace, a sugar heart, a paper doily, glitter, an anonymous note, holding hands. It is written for a classroom party or an office one rather than for a couple, so nothing on it is romantic in a way that would be awkward to hand to thirty ten-year-olds.

Thirty-six words for 24 squares means 1,251,677,700 possible cards, so no two of the twelve match.

If you want them smaller

Four to a sheet halves the paper and takes the card down to 89 mm wide. For a class of thirty that is the difference between eight sheets and fifteen. The words get smaller with the squares, and the press will refuse the combination rather than set them too small to read.
