How do you play Trick or Treat bingo?

Give each child a card and a pencil (or a crayon) before you set off. Mark each thing as you spot it on the walk. The first line shouts BINGO: a full card earns an extra treat at home. For little ones, a grown-up reads out the squares.

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.

Trick or Treat Bingo

Trick-or-treat bingo is a spotting game for children to take on their Halloween walk: a carved pumpkin, a black cat, a witch, a dog in a costume, a spooky house. It keeps little ones busy between doors and makes the walk even more exciting. A 4 × 4 card is just right for younger children.
