Christmas Bingo Cards

How to play Christmas bingo

1. Give each player a card and something to mark squares with.
2. The caller reads words from the caller's list in any order, ticking each one off.
3. Players mark a word when it's called. The middle square is free.
4. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!" and the caller checks the card.

Print 2 cards to a page to save paper, cut them apart, and use candy, cereal or buttons as markers. The caller’s list on the last page makes calling easy.

Good to know

• The carol "Silent Night" was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 in Oberndorf, Austria, with a guitar accompaniment.
• The custom of bringing an evergreen tree indoors and decorating it grew popular in Germany long before it spread to Britain and North America in the 1800s.
• The names of the eight reindeer, such as Dasher, Prancer and Blitzen, come from the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas."
