Christmas Bingo

Bingo isn’t just for fun, did you know bingo also has many educational benefits?

That’s right! Playing bingo can support the development of important skills like listening, self-regulation, and visual discrimination.

Now you have a great reason to play bingo with your kids this holiday season!

In the classroom you can invite a parent volunteer or older child to play this game with a small group.

Listening and following directions can be difficult for many young children, which is why I prefer to play this game in small groups instead of whole group.

Printable Bingo Game

Another great thing about bingo is that it is perfect for introducing children to the concept of playing group games. There are only a few rules and each player has his or her own game board.

If you would like to use the color version of this game, print the bingo mats on cardstock first, cut out the mats, and then laminate for durability.

Christmas Bingo Game Supplies (Black and White)

Copy paper
Crayons or Do-a-Dot markers

Give each child in your small group one Christmas bingo mat.

Next, place a bowl or basket of manipulatives to use, such as bingo chips, in the center of the table so all the children can easily reach them. I used Unifix cubes but you can use whatever is most suitable for your kids.

If you would prefer to use the black and white ink-saver version of this game, give crayons or one Do-a-Dot marker to each child. Kids love using these Do-a-Dot markers to search for pictures on their bingo mat!

Then, demonstrate how to listen to the bingo caller, then search for an image on your bingo mat and cover with a manipulative or mark if the image is found. You may need to demonstrate this process for your children a few times until they get the hang of it.

Finally, start playing and let the fun begin!

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

Print out and cut Bingo cards and calling cards. Laminate, if desired.
Give each player a Bingo card and 25 small markers (we used M&Ms).
Have players put a marker on the “free” space.
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.
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:

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.
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).
