Movie night printables

Admit-one tickets for your guests, a menu for the snack bar and bingo cards to play during the film. Fill in your details, check the preview, then print on A4 or Letter.

How to print

Choose a sheet, change the words, then press its print button. Only that sheet goes to the printer, laid out to fit both A4 and US Letter paper with the browser's default margins. In the print dialog, turn on "background graphics" if you want the coloured stubs and borders, and set the scale to 100%.

Tickets print ten to a page with a numbered stub and a seat number, ready to cut out. The snack menu is a single card; prices are optional, so it works just as well as a list of what's on offer. Bingo cards print four to a page. Each card is a fresh shuffle of your squares, so no two players have the same card; press "Shuffle again" for a new set.

The bingo squares are things that happen during any movie night, not moments from a particular film, so they work whatever you watch. Replace them with your own family's habits for a better game: the person who always asks for subtitles, the dog who barks at the doorbell on screen.

Questions

How do you play movie bingo?

Give everyone a card and a pen. When something on your card happens, cross it off. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal calls "Bingo!" quietly, so as not to spoil the film, and wins the last of the popcorn.

Why are my printed colours missing?

Browsers leave out background colours when printing unless you ask. Look for "background graphics" or "print backgrounds" in the print dialog's settings. The tickets and cards still print clearly in black and white without it.

Can I save the sheets as a PDF?

Yes. Press print and choose "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF") as the printer. The PDF is made by your browser on your device.
