Why Christmas Bingo?
So, why should you include Christmas Bingo in your holiday celebrations this year? Well, let me tell you, it’s not just a hoot—it’s a sneaky way to sneak in some learning too! It keeps your kids occupied, playing with others, and learning all about the wonderful things about the Christmas holiday. And let’s not forget, it’s the perfect trick to keep your little ones busy while us grown-ups are busy setting up a meal or spending time together.
Getting Started With Christmas Bingo
Ready to dive into Christmas Bingo fun? Here’s your step-by-step guide:
- Snag Those Bingo Cards: First things first, you’ll need to grab those Bingo cards. We’ve got a free Christmas Bingo cards PDF you can snag below. Or, if you’re feeling artsy, you can sketch your own Christmas-themed doodles in a 3×3 grid.
- Gather Your Bingo Supplies: Once you’ve got your hands on those Bingo cards, you’ll need some tiny treasures to use as markers. Think coins, buttons, or even small candies! We’ve got a set of markers you can print out too at the end of the download.
- Explain the Bingo Rules: Before you kick off the fun, gather your little crowd and explain the rules. The aim? To mark off three squares in a row—whether it’s horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—by spotting the Christmas-themed items called out.
- Let the Games Begin: Get someone to be the Bingo caller (it’s a cool job, trust me!). They’ll draw items from a bowl or a Christmas-themed container. Something like a gift bag or Santa hat will do the trick! As they shout out an item, your kiddos can place a marker on the matching picture on their Bingo card.
- Congratulate the Winner: The first one to complete a row and holler “Bingo!” is the champ. You can shower them with little prizes, like stickers or even a Christmas cookie!
Christmas Bingo Is For All Ages
But guess what? Thanksgiving Bingo isn’t just for the kids. Nope, it’s a blast for all ages, making it the ultimate family activity. And stay tuned because we’ve got some other versions of Christmas Bingo coming your way to challenge even the most seasoned players!
Last Minute Tips for Christmas Bingo
- Print out your cards on sturdy cardstock paper to make them much more durable and last several games.
- Laminate them to use year after year! (I’m all about this laminator and plastic sleeves—they make life a breeze!)
- Turn Bingo into a learning fest for the little ones by sharing fun Christmas facts when announcing each calling card. It’s a fantastic way to teach them the true meaning behind the holiday and some other random facts everyone may not know.
- And if you’ve got family members who can’t make it in person, no worries! You can still play virtually. Just send them their very own bingo cards to print at home. Thanks to video conferencing, distance won’t keep you apart during the holiday season!
