How to play Christmas bingo

1. Print and cut. Print the bingo cards (one per player or team) and cut out the calling cards.
2. Pick a caller. Fold the calling cards and put them in a hat, bowl or stocking.
3. Hand out markers. Buttons, coins, chocolate chips or mini marshmallows all work.
4. Call the words. The caller draws one card at a time and reads it out. Players cover that word if it's on their card. The middle square is free.
5. Shout BINGO! The first player to cover a full row, column or diagonal wins. For a longer game, play until someone covers the whole card.

Ways to make it more fun

• Prizes: a candy cane, first pick of the cookies, or choosing the next Christmas movie.
• Blackout round: after a few quick games, play one round where you need to cover every square.
• Picture calling: for non-readers, the caller can act out or draw each word.
• Office party twist: the winner has to tell everyone their favorite Christmas memory.
• Reuse it: slip the cards into plastic sleeves and use a dry-erase pen.

Bingo for bigger groups

Four cards are perfect for a small family. For a party, classroom or big family Christmas, you'll want more cards so everyone gets a different one.
