Let’s look at the bingo cards and see what we can learn from them.
Each card has 9 squares (3 rows by 3 columns). In the center of each card, there’s a green star that says “BINGO!” — that square is free and doesn’t have an animal on it. So, each card actually shows 8 different farm animals around the center.
There are 6 different bingo cards shown in the image. Let’s count how many unique animals appear across all the cards.
We’ll list every animal we see:
From Card 1 (top left):
- Rooster
- Turkey
- Pig
- Horse
- Cow
- Donkey
- Rabbit
- Goose
From Card 2 (top middle):
- Pig
- Rooster
- Cow
- Turkey
- Goose
- Rabbit
- Donkey
- Sheep
From Card 3 (top right):
- Cow
- Pig
- Horse
- Rooster
- Sheep
- Chicken
- Goose
- Rabbit
- Goat
- Duck
- Donkey
Wait — let’s be careful. We don’t want to double-count. Let’s make one big list of ALL animals that appear anywhere, and then remove duplicates.
Let’s go card by card and collect all animals, then find the unique ones.
Card 1: Rooster, Turkey, Pig, Horse, Cow, Donkey, Rabbit, Goose
Card 2: Pig, Rooster, Cow, Turkey, Goose, Rabbit, Donkey, Sheep
Card 3: Cow, Pig, Horse, Rooster, Sheep, Chicken, Goose, Rabbit, Goat, Duck, Donkey
Card 4: Rabbit, Cow, Turkey, Rooster, Donkey, Horse, Pig, Duck
Card 5: Cow, Goat, Donkey, Pig, Rooster, Turkey, Horse, Goose
Card 6: Cow, Horse, Sheep, Turkey, Chicken, Donkey, Pig, Rabbit
Now let’s combine all these into one list and pick out the unique animals.
List all animals mentioned:
Rooster, Turkey, Pig, Horse, Cow, Donkey, Rabbit, Goose,
Pig, Rooster, Cow, Turkey, Goose, Rabbit, Donkey, Sheep,
Cow, Pig, Horse, Rooster, Sheep, Chicken, Goose, Rabbit, Goat, Duck, Donkey,
Rabbit, Cow, Turkey, Rooster, Donkey, Horse, Pig, Duck,
Cow, Goat, Donkey, Pig, Rooster, Turkey, Horse, Goose,
Cow, Horse, Sheep, Turkey, Chicken, Donkey, Pig, Rabbit
Now let’s write down each unique animal only once:
1. Rooster
2. Turkey
3. Pig
4. Horse
5. Cow
6. Donkey
7. Rabbit
8. Goose
9. Sheep
10. Chicken
11. Goat
12. Duck
That’s 12 different animals total.
Let me double-check by going through each animal type:
- Birds: Rooster, Turkey, Goose, Chicken, Duck → 5
- Mammals: Pig, Horse, Cow, Donkey, Rabbit, Sheep, Goat → 7
Total = 5 + 7 = 12
Yes, that matches.
So, even though each card only shows 8 animals (plus the free space), when you look at all 6 cards together, there are 12 different kinds of farm animals used in the game.
Final Answer:
12
