ADOT Kids: License plate “BINGO!” is back

ADOT Kids (and parents) - 

Now that school is out, many of you are planning road trips to escape the Arizona heat. Some of those destinations can involve several hours of driving. We have just the thing to keep everyone in the car (except the driver!) entertained on your way to that destination. License plate bingo is back with two new plates. It is an easy and fun game to play to pass the time on the open road. 

There are more than 100 different specialty plates in Arizona that you can look for on the roads everyday. Some of these plates include the professional sports teams like the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Suns. There are many other types of plates too. There are educational plates, plates for pets and animals, military and veteran plates, and even an amateur radio plate. Two new plates added to the bingo card this year are the Alice Cooper Solid Rock plate and the State Forty Eight plate. 

You can’t miss the unmistakable image of legendary rocker and Arizona resident Alice Cooper on a red plate to represent his Solid Rock Foundation. And the State Forty Eight plate should be very familiar, as it carries the same logo that you see on the very popular T-shirts across the state, representing local charities, companies and colleges. 

These bingo cards can easily be downloaded and printed. Each sheet allows up to four people to play. When you see one of these plates, you mark it on your card. First person to find five plates across, down or diagonal wins. We have a link to the playing cards with 24 Arizona specialty license plates. Download and print a license plate BINGO game card for your next roadtrip!

Specialty plates are not just fun to spot as you are driving across town, city, state or even across the country, they also give valuable support to charities that help kids and adults in Arizona. 

These plates represent lots of charities that are working to help Arizona communities in many different ways. They support educational and sports programs designed to improve the lives of children, health, inclusion of individuals with and without disabilities, wellness and economic advancement, scholarship opportunities and support for the families of law enforcement and military personnel.

Over $10 million is donated each year through these colorful plates. Most specialty plates cost $25 each year. $17 from each plate goes to a charity or nonprofit group of that plate. 

You can check out all the different specialty plates available at azdot.gov/plates and order the plate that says “BINGO” to you at azmvdnow.gov/plates.
