Free Printable Thanksgiving Bingo Game
Bingo is a simple game that’s been loved by generations. It is quick and easy to learn and always a good time.
This set of 10 BINGO cards features colorful Thanksgiving-themed images such as a turkey, a cornucopia, an acorn, pilgrims, pumpkin pie, and apple cider. It’s especially perfect as a fun Thanksgiving activity to keep the kids entertained while the adults are busy roasting a turkey and preparing Thanksgiving dinner.
Here’s how to introduce Thanksgiving Bingo to your holiday festivities:
Preparation
- Begin by downloading the free printables at the bottom of this post.
- Cut the calling cards out of the call sheet and place them in a bag or bowl so that you will be able to pull them out and hold them up for the children to see.
- Designate one person as the bingo caller (this can be an adult or perhaps a big kid).
- Pass out the free printable bingo cards to each player, along with dry erase markers, bingo markers, bingo chips, or other small items such as candy corn or coins. These will be used to mark off the squares.
Tip: Make it Reusable
To make the bingo game last as long as possible I recommend printing on white cardstock rather than regular paper and/or laminating the cards and game pieces. Laminate cards can be used with dry erase markers and then wiped off and reused over and over again.
Starting the Game
- Decide on a pattern to play for. It could be a straight line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, a specific shape, or filling the entire card (blackout bingo).
- Each of the unique cards has a ‘free space’ in the center, which players can immediately mark off. This adds an extra dose of excitement to the game, as it gives everyone a head start towards winning.
- The designated bingo caller will draw from the pile of calling cards and hold up the picture for all the children to see. Players look at their bingo game cards to see if they have the image called. If they do, they place a marker on that square.
- The game continues with the caller drawing new cards and players marking their cards accordingly.
Winning the Game
- The first person to complete the predetermined pattern and shout “Bingo!” wins the game.
- The bingo caller will then double-check that the winner indeed has a Bingo.
- You can continue playing for second and third places or start a new game with fresh cards.
By including Thanksgiving Bingo as part of your Thanksgiving celebration, you’re not only creating a fun game for the kids but also crafting memorable moments for the whole family. With its easy rules and festive theme, Thanksgiving Bingo is a surefire way to add fun to your holiday gathering.
