Supplies Needed for Christmas Bingo

If you don’t laminate the cards and print them in black and white, Do-A-Dot Markers are great for this activity.

Candy Options: Peppermints or other Christmas candies like Christmas colored jelly beans
Non-Candy Options: Pom Poms, Buttons, Christmas bells
Pencil or Markers: You can have kids cross out the spots with a marker or a dot marker
How to Set-Up Christmas Bingo
First print off the calling card and bingo cards (link to the free printable below).
- Cut out the calling cards and place them in a bowl or jar for selecting.
- Cut out the bingo cards. Each player gets a bingo card. If you have more than 10 players you can put kids into small groups to play together.
- Use a candy or non-candy item as markers. When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image.
- When calling out the images – you can describe the image or show the picture.
- You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won.
How Can I Play With More People?
There are 30 unique cards included. If you have more than 30 players you can break them up into small groups and play in groups of 2-3 players. You can also hand out similar cards and have more than one winner at a time.
How to Print the Bingo Cards
Make sure you review the Print Preview before printing. Every printer is different so make sure you select “Print to Fit to Size” or look at the printer Scale Features (you can print at 90% scale) in your printer settings so that it does not print cut off if you are having issues.

Hello Kim,
Thanks for all these great suggestions to help keep my grandkids occupied over the holidays.
I just have one question, what is the ‘free’ square for, and what do you do with it?
Merry Christmas and a blessed year ahead.
Chris
You’re welcome! The free spot is a spot everyone gets to put a marker on to start.
This Bingo activity is great. I’ll try this one with my students this week. Thank you for sharing with us.
