Horse Racing Game – Printable
$5.50
A printable bingo game for seniors and activity groups, this horse racing kit includes two game formats — tabletop and floor — with horse tokens, situation cards, and full instructions. Supplied as downloadable PDF files, emailed within 48 hours of purchase.
This printable bingo game for seniors and activity groups brings a horse racing theme to group sessions, with two game formats included: a tabletop version and a larger floor game. It works well for Melbourne Cup events or any race-day occasion on the activity calendar.
How it can be used
The horse racing game can be run on any flat surface using the included track suggestions. Print the floor game horses onto coloured or white card for a large-format version, or use the smaller tabletop tokens for table-based play. Situation cards add an element of chance — for example, a card might instruct a player to go back three spaces — keeping the game lively and unpredictable for groups.
This kit includes the following components:
- Black and white horse templates for printing onto coloured card (floor game)
- Coloured templates for 12 large floor game horses (print onto white card)
- Coloured tabletop horse tokens for 12 horses (print onto white card)
- Situation cards with game-event prompts
- Full game instructions
- Track layout suggestions
- Melbourne Cup event: Run the floor game as a centrepiece activity on Melbourne Cup day, with residents each backing a horse and following its progress around the track.
- Small group tabletop play: Use the tabletop tokens for a quieter, seated version with groups of four to six, taking turns drawing situation cards to move horses forward or back.
- Team competition: Divide a larger group into teams, with each team managing one horse and deciding collectively how to respond to situation cards.
- Race-day theme session: Pair the game with race-day trivia or a sweepstake activity to build a longer themed session around the horse racing game.
- Intergenerational activity: Use the floor game format when visiting school groups or families are present, as the large-format horses make it easy for mixed ages to participate together.
