About Christmas bingo
Christmas bingo is the easiest party game for December. This tool makes printable Christmas bingo cards with pictures — a Christmas tree, a snowman, a reindeer, a candy cane, a stocking and 22 more — each with its word under it. Kids who cannot read yet play with the pictures, and older kids read the words.
Every card is different. The tool checks each new card against all the others, so no two players win at the same moment. Choose how many cards you need, and you get one PDF with all of them and a calling sheet for the host.
Print the pictures in colour, or as black and white outlines that the children can colour in before the game. Everything is made in your browser — nothing is uploaded and there is no sign-up.
Features
- 27 Christmas pictures — tree, star, present, ornament, snowflake, holly, candy cane, bell, snowman, stocking, candle, mitten, gingerbread man, Santa hat, wreath, cookie, hot cocoa, sleigh, reindeer, Santa, elf, bow, lights, snow globe, penguin, drum and teddy bear
- Every card different — up to 200 cards in one PDF
- Colour or black and white — outlines to colour in, which also save ink
- A calling sheet — every word with its picture and a box to tick
- 5 × 5, 4 × 4 or 3 × 3 — big squares for small children
- 1, 2 or 4 cards per page, with cut lines and card numbers
- Your own words too — add or change words; words without a picture are printed as text
Card sizes for every age
- 3 × 3 — 8 pictures and a free star. Quick games for preschool and kindergarten.
- 4 × 4 — 16 pictures, no free space. Good for ages 5 to 7.
- 5 × 5 — the classic card with a free star in the middle. Good for older kids and families.
For little ones, print 1 card per page so the squares are big.
How to play Christmas bingo
- Give every player a card and some markers — small candies, buttons, chocolate coins or a crayon.
- The host reads a word from the calling sheet in any order and ticks it off. Young kids can look for the picture.
- Players cover that picture if it is on their card.
- The first player with a full line — across, down or diagonal — shouts "Bingo!" (or "Ho ho ho!").
- Check the card against the calling sheet, give a small prize, and play again.
To make the game longer, play four corners or full card. To call the words without a sheet, put them into Spin the Wheel and spin.
Ideas for the class party
- Colour first. Print the black and white cards and let the children colour the pictures before the game. It keeps everyone busy while the room is set up.
- Candy markers. Use small candies as markers — the winners eat them.
- One card each, more to share. Print a few more cards than children, for parents who join in.
- Change the words. Add the names of your class, school or family traditions. Words without a picture print as text.
Frequently asked questions
Is Christmas bingo free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. Print as many cards as you like.
How many cards can I make?
Up to 200 cards in one PDF, and every card is different. Press Shuffle new cards for a new set.
Can kids who cannot read play?
Yes. Every word has a picture above it, so young children can look for the snowman or the reindeer. A 3 × 3 card with big squares is easiest.
Can I print in black and white?
Yes. Tick Black and white pictures to colour in. The pictures are printed as outlines, which saves ink and gives the children something to colour.
Can I add my own words?
Yes. Change the list, one word per line. Words like "Santa", "snowman" or "gift" get a picture; other words are printed as text, so you can mix in names or places.
How does the host call the words?
Turn on Add a calling sheet. The last page lists every word with its picture and a box to tick. Cut the words into slips and draw them from a hat, or read them in any order.
Is it private?
Yes. The cards are made in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
