#MGCarousel Book Bingo – September & October 2024

How Does It Work?

Our book bingo card contains 25 squares with prompts relating to things from Middle Grade books. Try and cover 5 squares in a line—up, down, or diagonally—or aim to fill the whole card if you’re a speedy reader.

Download the graphic, share your reading progress using our hashtag (#MGCarousel) on social media, and have fun! A transcript of the Bingo table is available as well.

Rules

  1. All books added to your bingo card should be Middle Grade reads. Find out more about Middle Grade books here.
  2. Each square needs to be filled with a unique book. You cannot use the same title more than once on your bingo card, even if it fits multiple themes. Choose wisely!
  3. This edition of our Middle Grade Book Bingo challenge runs September 1 through October 31.
