Play Christmas Bingo

- Prepare the materials: You will need bingo cards (which you can create or purchase) and markers (such as pennies or small candies). Each player should have their own bingo card and markers.
- Set up the game: Decide on the size of the bingo card (e.g., 5×5, 4×4, etc.), and create a list of words or phrases that are related to Christmas (e.g., “Santa Claus,” “mistletoe,” “ornaments,” “carols,” etc.). Randomly place these words or phrases on the bingo card.
- Start the game: Choose a person to be the “caller,” and have them draw a word or phrase from the list. The caller should then read the word or phrase out loud. Players should look for the word or phrase on their bingo card and mark it with a marker if they have it.
- Continue the game: The caller should continue drawing and calling out words or phrases until someone gets five in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). When someone gets five in a row, they should shout “Bingo!”
