About this Christmas Bingo
Christmas bingo is the easiest party game there is: no reading needed, everyone can play, and it works just as well for a classroom holiday party as a family night by the tree. Each card uses pictures with labels underneath, so pre-readers can match the images while older kids read the words. Pick a card size, choose how many players you have, and the PDF includes one unique card per player plus a sheet of calling cards to cut apart and draw from a hat.
What the printable looks like
How to play
- Print one card per player, plus the calling cards on the last page.
- Cut apart the calling cards, fold them, and put them in a bowl or hat.
- Draw one card at a time and call it out (or hold it up for pre-readers).
- Players cover the matching square with a marker. The center FREE space counts for everyone.
- The first player with five in a row across, down, or diagonally shouts BINGO! For a longer game, play blackout: cover the whole card.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play christmas picture bingo?
Give each player a card and some markers (buttons, cereal, or small candies work well). Cut apart the calling cards and put them in a bowl. Draw one at a time and show or say it; players cover that picture if it's on their card. The first to cover five in a row (across, down, or diagonally) calls "Bingo!"
How many bingo cards should I print?
One per player. Every card in the PDF is different, and the christmas set has 48 pictures, so a 5x5 card shows 24 of them. With a big group, set the number of cards to match your class size (up to 100).
What size card is best for young kids?
For preschool and kindergarten, pick 3x3. Games are short and the pictures are big. 4x4 suits early elementary, and 5x5 is the classic full game for older kids and adults.
Can I print two cards on one page?
Yes. Choose "2 per page" before downloading. The cards are smaller but still easy to read, and it saves paper for big groups.
