Getting started: Christmas bingo basics

Unlike traditional bingo, where numbers are called, Christmas bingo uses holiday-themed images or words to fill each square. Think of items like Santa hats, snowflakes, or Christmas lights. This twist makes the game easy to follow for all ages, and adds that festive feel.

Why Christmas bingo works for any crowd

Christmas bingo is versatile. You can play with kids, teens, adults, or mixed-age groups. Just customize the card themes to your audience, and adjust the calling style. For younger children, simpler words or images work best, while a group of adults might enjoy more quirky or nostalgic Christmas items.

How to create Christmas bingo cards

Designing your own bingo cards can be as simple or as intricate as you want. With a few quick steps, you’ll have Christmas bingo cards ready to go.

1. Choose your Christmas bingo theme

The theme sets the tone for the game and helps guide the kind of images or words you’ll use. Here are some theme ideas:

• Classic Christmas: Think Santa, reindeer, and Christmas trees.
• Winter wonderland: Snowflakes, mittens, icicles, and scarves.
• Holiday movies: Characters or symbols from beloved Christmas films.
• Christmas treats: Gingerbread men, candy canes, hot cocoa, and cookies.

Once you have a theme in mind, you can start brainstorming specific items to feature on your cards.

2. Select a bingo card layout

Typically, bingo cards have a 5x5 grid with 24 different items (plus a "free" square in the middle). This layout works well for longer games. If you're short on time or have a younger crowd, a 3x3 grid can make for a faster-paced game.

3. Create or gather Christmas-themed images

For a classic Christmas feel, you’ll want a mix of holiday symbols, characters, and decorations. Here’s a quick list to get started:

• Christmas trees, ornaments, Santa Claus, and snowflakes
• Stockings, gifts, reindeer, and candy canes
• Poinsettias, wreaths, gingerbread cookies, and bells

4. Customize your cards

Once you've selected your images or words, upload them into Bingo Card Creator. You can personalize each card, change colors, and even add some holiday phrases. Then, simply generate as many cards as you need!

5. Print and distribute

When you're happy with the layout, print out your cards and prepare a list of the items you’ll call out. If you're hosting a virtual party, you can also share the cards digitally and host the game online.

Alternative ways to play Christmas bingo

Sometimes, a twist on the classic game can make it even more engaging. Here are a few alternative ways to bring some variety to your Christmas bingo:

Christmas bingo relay

Split players into teams, and set a time limit. Players take turns finding items on the bingo card, but only one team member can play at a time. The first team to fill a row, column, or diagonal wins.

Holiday bingo scavenger hunt

Instead of calling out items, turn bingo into a scavenger hunt! Call out holiday objects for players to find around the house or venue. If someone finds an object on their card, they mark it. This works well with groups of kids or family parties.

Christmas charades bingo

Mix bingo with charades for some extra laughs. Rather than calling out items, the caller mimes or acts them out, and players guess to mark them on their cards. It’s a fun option for groups who enjoy a bit of acting and guessing.

Speed Christmas bingo

For a fast-paced game, set a time limit for each round. Players aim to fill one row or column within the time, which adds a competitive edge. Great for office events or time-limited parties.

Final thoughts: Bring Christmas cheer with bingo

Creating Christmas bingo cards is easy, fun, and adds a lively element to any holiday gathering. Whether you’re making your own from scratch, using a template, or trying an alternative bingo game, it’s a great way to bring people together and celebrate the season. With a little creativity (and maybe some holiday treats as prizes), Christmas bingo might just become a new holiday tradition.
