Christmas Bingo For Preschoolers
Enjoy the Holidays and special time with your family while playing this super simple, fun, [and free] Printable Christmas Bingo for Preschoolers game!
I love every single thing about the Holiday season. I love the twinkling Christmas lights, the smell of Cinnamon and Evergreen, the need to bake every single goodie that I know how, and the special time I get to spend with my family.
While it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of buying gifts and decorating, spending special time with our families should definitely be at the top of our Christmas To-Do List!
Since both of my girls are in school now, the Holiday breaks are even more special because they are in school all day! I always ask them what they want to do on their break… always thinking that they’ll request to go on a special outing, but just about every single time their response is… “We want to play with you, Mommy!” It certainly warms this Mama’s heart, that’s for sure.
After 6 tea parties and 9 fights over whose Shopkins is whose, I tend to steer them towards board games. Our whole family loves playing games together and it seems to keep some of the arguing at bay [until Monopoly comes out, but that’s a whole different story – ha]!

The girls have recently found a love for playing Bingo thanks to a fun program at their school called Bingo for Books. It’s a super fun way to get parents and kids involved and when someone calls Bingo, they win a book to take home. Since the girls have loved it so much, I decided it was time for an at-home Bingo game and what better way to play than with a fun Printable Bingo Christmas game!

You’ll notice that there are no calling cards with this printable – that’s because I simply cut up one of the boards to use as our “calling characters”.
And we make the game even more fun by using yummy and festive crackers or candy for our markers! It makes the game even more exciting when some of the yummy BINGO markers disappear!

Are your kids going bonkers for Christmas right now? Mine certainly are. We have lots of festive activities planned for the next few weeks, so hopefully the time will fly by quickly for them.
Last week, we kicked off December with a Polar Express party for some of the neighborhood kids. It was so fun! The kids had a ridiculous amount of sugar, so you know they all went home happy.

This week on the blog, I’m going to be sharing several posts about how I pulled together a festive and fun party without making myself completely crazy. Because nobody needs more stress this time of year.
First up is this printable Christmas Bingo game! It was one of our party games, and it was a hit! Whether you’re hosting family for the holidays, planning a neighborhood or class party, or are just looking for anything to keep your crazy kiddos occupied until Christmas, this game is for you!
Enough chit-chat though. Let’s get to making the game!
Materials
- Printable Bingo game packet
- Scissors or paper trimmer
- laminator/plastic sheets (optional but highly recommended if you want to be able to use the game again)
- Holiday M&Ms or other small markers (pennies, beads, mini erasers, etc.)
Instructions
- Print out and cut Bingo cards and calling cards. Laminate, if desired.
- Give each player a Bingo card and 25 small markers (we used M&Ms).
- Have players put a marker on the “free” space.
- Flip all the calling cards upside down. Flip one right side up and call it out (example: “snowman!”) and help players find and mark the snowman on their cards.
- Continue play until someone gets Bingo! After someone gets Bingo, you can continue the same game, or you can clear the boards and start a new round.
Notes
You can also try one of these variations:
- Instead of having one designated Bingo caller, allow players to take turns flipping over cards. (This only works well in small groups where you can put the cards in the middle of a table where everyone can reach.) Everyone still places a marker for each picture flipped over, not just the player who flipped it.
- Play around with the rules of what a player has to do to “win”. Require the winner to get two Bingos…or even Bingo in two different directions (my boys loved this one).
