How do you play Christmas Day Family bingo?

Put a card at every place at breakfast. Mark each square as it happens through the day. Check cards before the evening film: a line wins a chocolate, a full card a bigger prize. Little ones can play in a team with a grown-up.

Can I change the squares?

Yes. The cards start with the squares on this page: shuffle them, change any of them, or write your own before you download.

Can I put names and the date on it?

Yes: whose party it is goes into the title, and a line of your own under BINGO, such as the date. You can change the title word too.

How many cards do I need?

One card per guest. With a single design every card is the same, so for a game with winners choose a party set: 10 to 60 cards, each a different mix, with a caller sheet, for €9.90.

You get a landscape PDF at the paper size you choose, A4 or US Letter for most, which prints at home or at any print shop.

Christmas Day Family Bingo

Christmas Day bingo is a game for the whole family to play through the day: new pyjamas, pulling a cracker, someone asleep on the sofa, a walk after lunch. It keeps children busy between presents and dinner, and gives grown-ups something to laugh about.
