Non-Candy Options: Pom Poms, Buttons, Plastic Pumpkin Pieces

Pencil or Markers: You can have kids cross out the spots with a marker or a dot marker

How to Set-Up the Thanksgiving Bingo

First print off the calling card and bingo cards (link to the free printable below).

1. Cut out the calling cards and place them in a bowl or jar for selecting.

2. Cut out the bingo cards. Each player gets a bingo card. If you have more than 10 players you can put kids into small groups to play together.

3. Use a candy or non-candy item as markers. When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image.

4. When calling out the images – you can describe the image or show the picture.

If you are printing in black and white, you may need to give more clues about the detail of the picture for the images that are similar. For example, there are 2 pumpkins. One has a face and one does not. There are also a few different leaves.

5. You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won.

How Can I Play With More People?

There are 10 unique cards included. If you have more than 10 players you can break them up into small groups and play in groups of 2-3 players. You can also hand out similar cards and have more than one winner at a time.

How to Print the Bingo Cards

Make sure you review the Print Preview before printing. Every printer is different so make sure you select “Print to Fit to Size” or look at the printer Scale Features (you can print at 90% scale) in your printer settings so that it does not print cut off.
