How do you play Christmas Party bingo?

Hand a card to every guest as they arrive, with a pen. Whenever something on a square happens, mark it. The first to fill a line, across, down or diagonally, shouts BINGO and wins a small prize. Keep playing for a second line, or a full card, through the evening.

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 Party Bingo

Christmas party bingo turns the party itself into the game: a Christmas jumper, a cracker pulled, someone singing along to Mariah. Guests mark each square as it happens, and the first line wins. It works for an office party, a family get-together or friends round for mulled wine, and gets everyone watching, laughing and talking.
