How to run Christmas bingo for adults and kids: make your own picture cards, play variations, prizes, and free printable Christmas pages to use as calling cards.
Why Christmas bingo works
Bingo is the rare game that a five-year-old and a grandparent can play together. It's quiet, it's fair, and everyone gets to shout "BINGO!"
Make your own Christmas bingo cards
- Pick 24 Christmas images: Santa, reindeer, snowman, stocking, gingerbread, star, wreath, bells and so on. Pages from our Christmas Coloring Pages cover all of these.
- Draw a 5×5 grid (3×3 for little ones) with a FREE center square.
- Shuffle the pictures differently on every card.
- Make calling cards from a second copy of each picture.
Tip: our free Christmas sampler gives you a few ready pictures to start.
