How To Play Bingo

The first thing you’ll do is to print out your bingo cards, one for each player along with your calling card. Use sturdy white cardstock or regular paper, whatever you have on hand is fine.
Cut out all 25 calling card pieces and place them into a bowl or hat to draw from. This is what is used to call out the square to mark.
Distribute a bingo card to each player.
Now it’s time to play! The game caller will pull out one card at a time and announce the image to the players. For example, “Turkey” or “Pumpkin”. You can also show the game piece to the players.
Cover the corresponding image on the bingo card with a marker.
To win the game a player must cover 5 spaces in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally. When a player has accomplished this they shout out “BINGO” before any other players.

Pro Tips

Laminate the Thanksgiving bingo printable cards to use over and over again and let the kids mark them off with dry erase markers. We use the laminating trick with our thankful tree craft too!
Add an extra challenge for the first person to yell BINGO! Ask them to name something they are grateful for this holiday season.
If it’s a nice day out, go out and search for acorns to use as your bingo markers to make an extra fun thanksgiving activity.

Ideas For Prizes

When we play this game at the holidays either the host or hostess provide the prizes or you can ask each person to bring something.

We usually hit up the dollar store or dollar aisle at Target for small prizes! We like to buy candy bars, stationary, playing cards, treats, balloons, coloring and activity books, and sidewalk chalk, just to name a few.
