Yardo Card

Think how many people, vehicles, objects and animals pass by a house on any given day! This game, called “Yardo” turns all that variety into a lot of fun. It’s played just like the classic game Bingo, but instead of someone calling out letters and numbers, players watch from their yard.

SAFETY NOTE! Make sure a parent is nearby for this activity. Children should always stay well away from the street.

Equipment:

One “Yardo Card” for each child. Click on the link. Look at the bottom of the page to open and print each Yardo card.
Pencil or pen or a bingo marker. (Bingo chips are not recommended because they blow away.)

Note: Cards can also be laminated and used with a dry erase marker.

Instructions:

Each player gets one of the Yardo cards. All players mark their “Free” space before the game begins. When the game begins, all players should watch for items on their cards. When players spot something listed in one of their squares, they mark that spot. First one to get five up, down, or across yells, “Yardo!” We know – it’s corny. But it’s fun.
