Dec 08, 2020 Christmas BINGO Free Printable Game for Family Fun Have fun playing our FREE Printable Christmas Bingo game with friends and family this holiday season. Bring the family together with a game of Christmas Bingo. It’s easy to set up and since Christmas is all about gifts, I am gifting it to you for free.

Are your kids going bonkers for Christmas right now? Mine certainly are. We have lots of festive activities planned for the next few weeks, so hopefully the time will fly by quickly for them.

Last week, we kicked off December with a Polar Express party for some of the neighborhood kids. It was so fun! The kids had a ridiculous amount of sugar, so you know they all went home happy.

This week on the blog, I’m going to be sharing several posts about how I pulled together a festive and fun party without making myself completely crazy. Because nobody needs more stress this time of year.

First up is this printable Christmas Bingo game! It was one of our party games, and it was a hit! Whether you’re hosting family for the holidays, planning a neighborhood or class party, or are just looking for anything to keep your crazy kiddos occupied until Christmas, this game is for you!

Enough chit-chat though. Let’s get to making the game!

Materials

  • Printable Bingo game packet
  • Scissors or paper trimmer
  • laminator/plastic sheets (optional but highly recommended if you want to be able to use the game again)
  • Holiday M&Ms or other small markers (pennies, beads, mini erasers, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Print out and cut Bingo cards and calling cards. Laminate, if desired.
  2. Give each player a Bingo card and 25 small markers (we used M&Ms).
  3. Have players put a marker on the “free” space.
  4. Flip all the calling cards upside down. Flip one right side up and call it out (example: “snowman!”) and help players find and mark the snowman on their cards.
  5. Continue play until someone gets Bingo! After someone gets Bingo, you can continue the same game, or you can clear the boards and start a new round.

Notes

You can also try one of these variations:

  1. Instead of having one designated Bingo caller, allow players to take turns flipping over cards. (This only works well in small groups where you can put the cards in the middle of a table where everyone can reach.) Everyone still places a marker for each picture flipped over, not just the player who flipped it.
  2. Play around with the rules of what a player has to do to “win”. Require the winner to get two Bingos…or even Bingo in two different directions (my boys loved this one).

One of the things I love most about the Christmas season is all of the traditions. In our family, the traditions include watching Christmas movies, eating special meals and treats, and attending holidays programs and parades. One of our favorite traditions, however, is driving around the neighborhoods in our area looking at Christmas lights. We grab some hot chocolate, load up the van, turn on some Christmas music and head out for an hour at least one night a week to check out all of the displays. A few years ago I decided to come up with a game that we could play to add a little extra fun. Enter Christmas Lights Bingo.

This is so easy to play and really needs no explanation. You simply mark off the Christmas decorations as you see them. And just to clarify, all of the squares are specifically talking about a Christmas decoration (lights, blow mold figures, airblown inflatables, etc.) So “dog” does not mean a real dog someone is walking on the sidewalk and “pig” does not mean a pig at a farm. I only mention this because the dog issue came up during our most recent game the other night. I think grandpa was just trying to cheat. You have to watch those grandpas sometimes!

Christmas Family Bingo Game

Each team has a clipboard and bingo card plus a red pen to mark off their squares. We usually play blackout to make the game last longer but if you’re short on time you can just play regular bingo. At the end of the evening, we give a small prize such as candy from the dollar store to the winning team. If no team is able to get a blackout then the team with the most squares marked is the winner.
