The construction party bingo words
Ten cards, each one different, drawn from these 22 words. Calling cards are included, so nobody has to make a list up on the day.
digger, dump truck, crane, hammer, hard hat, bulldozer, cement, ladder, toolbox, wrench, blueprint, brick, shovel, cone, drill, excavator, nail, saw, measure, site, gravel, beam
What the charades cards ask kids to do
There are 24 cards. A few of them:
- Dig a big hole with an excavator
- Hammer a nail into a board
- Drive a dump truck and tip the load
- Stack bricks into a tall wall
- Put on your hard hat and vest
- Saw a plank in half
- Climb a tall ladder carefully
- Mix a wheelbarrow of cement
The scavenger hunt list
12 things to find, written so they work indoors or in a garden. Nothing has to be bought or hidden in advance.
- Something orange like a safety cone
- Something yellow like a digger
- Something that can dig
- Something square like a brick
- Something hard like a hard hat
- A tool (toy or real, ask first!)
- Something heavy
- Something with wheels
- Something made of wood
- Something that measures
- Something loud like a drill
- Something you can stack
Word scramble
10 words to unscramble, with an answer key on the next page for whoever is running it: digger, hammer, cement, crane, toolbox, blueprint, shovel, excavator, wrench, ladder.
Ages, timing and printing
- Ages 4 to 10. Younger children usually need a grown-up to read the bingo calling cards and the scavenger hunt list out loud.
- About two hours of party. Bingo runs 10 to 15 minutes, the scavenger hunt 15 to 20, charades as long as they are still laughing.
- Plain paper is fine for the signs, banner and hunt sheets. Card stock is worth it for the bingo cards, charades cards and cupcake toppers, since those get handled.
- US Letter, colour, single sided. Print the invitations first if the party is more than a week away.
- The cupcake toppers say DIG IN!, UNDER 4STRUCTION, LET'S PARTY, HAPPY BDAY, NAILED IT, BUILD IT.
Construction party ideas that build fun
- Mark the party zone with real mini traffic cones and the printed signs.
- The scavenger hunt becomes a job-site inspection with toy hard hats.
- Serve dirt cups after the bingo and nobody will sit still.
