- Cardstock – I love to print my bingo cards on heavy white cardstock, which is thicker than regular printer paper. This gives the bingo cards a more luxurious feel when you hold them.
- Color Printer – You’ll need a color printer to print these cards in color! If you don’t have one, you can send the file to your local print shop instead.
- Laminator (optional) – I didn’t do this, but if you want to print these cards once and get use of them for years to come, use a laminator to laminate the cards! You can use dry erase markers to mark off your bingo cards or use candy like we did to mark off each box.
- Scissors or paper cutter – Each bingo card goes on one piece of paper, but you’ll need scissors or a paper cutter to cut the calling card boxes into small pieces so that you can place them in a hat to call off each item.
- Christmas M&Ms, peppermint candies, or gum drops – You’ll need some type of small candy to mark off the boxes. You can also use a marker or pen if you don’t mind using these bingo cards just once. If you laminate the bingo cards, use a dry erase marker that you can wipe off so you can use the cards again!
If you want to keep your bingo cards for the long-term laminate them so you can keep them! You’ll also want to laminate the calling card and cut up squares. Keep them all together in a shirt box so you can pull them out again next Christmas.
How to Play Christmas Bingo
Christmas bingo is very easy to play and this free printable makes it so simple to do! Follow these steps (there are more detailed steps in the how-to card) so that you can play this fun activity with your family this Christmas season.
- Download the bingo cards.
- Print out the bingo cards and 2 copies of the calling card on cardstock on a color printer. Be sure to choose “fit” in your printing options to be sure that none of the card gets cut off in your printer.
- You can laminate your cards if you wish so that they are extra durable and you can use them many times.
- Cut out each square of one of the calling cards so that you can place them in a Santa hat or festive bowl.
- Hand out the bingo cards to participants with a handful of bingo markers. That can be Christmas M&Ms, mini marshmallows, peppermint candies, gumdrops, or even coins! Let participants know to mark off the free space in the center.
- Take turns choosing a square from the Santa hat or bowl and call out what the picture is of. If you have it on your card, mark it with a candy.
- Once a player gets 5 across in a row, column or diagonally, they yell BINGO!
