Winter Bingo Cards

How to play winter 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

• In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice on December 21 or 22 is the shortest day of the year. Days slowly get longer after it.
• Snow crystals form with six-sided symmetry because of the way water molecules link together as they freeze.
• Animals handle winter in different ways: bears and groundhogs hibernate, many birds migrate south, and snowshoe hares grow a white coat for camouflage.
• Snow-day tip: print a few levels at once so siblings of different ages can each work on their own copy at the kitchen table.
