Bingo Stack

Holiday bingo

Word bingo for the dates on the calendar when a room full of people needs something to do together. Every set has its own list, which you can edit before printing.

Which holiday set to print

Six of these pages belong to a single day and are meant to be used on or near it: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day and Easter. Their lists are full of that day's food, decorations and customs, so they feel out of place a week later. Pick the one that matches your date and change the count to your number of players.

The other two, fall and winter, are season sets with no festival in them. They are the better choice for a classroom or community group where not everyone marks the same holidays, and they stay usable for months. Fall covers leaves, harvest and woodland animals; winter covers snow, cold-weather clothes and polar animals, and shares almost nothing with the Christmas list.

All eight work the same way. The page opens on a five by five grid with a free centre, there is a smaller grid for young children, and a call sheet follows the cards. If your event mixes two occasions, such as a December birthday, copy lines from one page's list into another.
