Christmas Bingo Game
With this free printable Christmas Bingo game, you can quickly set up a game as a fun activity or as part of a bigger party. This printable set includes 30 unique game boards to make setting up this fun activity for small groups or large groups a breeze! All you have to do is print, cut, and you’re ready to play!
There are a few more things I recommend doing to really bring your game to life, but you can really just print and play!
Prep & Set Up
The great thing about this free Christmas bingo is that it’s so easy to set up. Whether you’re planning a party or just a themed bingo night, you don’t have to stress out about getting this game ready.
Here’s how to get started with your Bingo game:
- Print two copies of the bingo calling cards and enough game cards for all players.
- Cut one set of the calling cards so you have inviddual cards. Leave the other one as printed to use as a key.
- Select bingo markers.
- Optional: Prepare prizes.
If you want to save the bingo cards and calling cards to use multiple times, you can use a laminator.
I have the Scotch Thermal Laminator and it has worked well for the past few years. You can use it for all sorts of things. I use it for game cards and other printables but have also used it to laminate things like artwork. You can usually get a pretty good deal on the Scotch Laminating Pouches too!

Print 2 copies of the calling cards page and a game card for each player.
I recommend printing 2 copies of the calling card page so you can cut one apart for the actual calling cards and use one as a key. Once a card is called, place it on the key sheet so you can see which images were called during that game. It makes checking for Bingos easier.
There are 30 unique bingo cards in this file, so you can print as many as you need. If you are playing with a group larger than 30, you will have duplicate game cards in play
Select your bingo markers.
You can just use squares of paper as markers, but there are a lot of fun ideas for Christmas bingo markers:
- Mini Erasers
- Small Christmas Stickers
- Christmas M&Ms
- Colored Chips (use only the red and green ones to be festive!)
You can also use bingo daubers, but keep in mind that your cards will then be marked and can’t be reused unless you have laminated them. If you laminate the bingo game cards, you can also use dry erase markers.
Get prizes if you want to give prizes out.
If you’re playing this bingo as part of a classroom party or a large group, then I’d suggest going with smaller prizes. Here are some ideas:
- Build a Tree Sticker Activities
- Necklaces
- Pencils or Pens
- Squish or fidget toys
If you’re playing with family or friends as part of your Christmas celebration, you could get some larger prizes like small dollar amount gift cards, cozy socks, candles, etc.
Game Instructions & Tips
Follow these easy steps to play bingo:
- Hand out the bingo boards to players or they can choose their own if preferred.
- Hand out bingo markers.
- Players mark the free space on their boards.
- Appoint a game caller. The caller draws and announces each card, marking it on their copy of the calling cards for reference.
- Use the master sheet to track called items. This will help with bingo verification and resolving any disputes.
- Continue drawing and announcing until a player gets a bingo. Be sure to set your winning patterns before starting, such as a straight line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Variations like four corners or blackout can be played too.
- Verify the winning bingo against the master calling card. If offering prizes, hand them out.
- Reset the boards for the next game.
- Play as many times as you’d like!
