FREE PRINTABLE THANKSGIVING BINGO GAME WITH 24 CARDS
This Thanksgiving bingo download contains:
- 24 unique bingo boards (two per page)
- 28 calling cards
All of this is available free to download.
To make your event run smoothly, print and prepare the materials in advance. Cutting 24 unique cards can take time if you use scissors, so plan ahead to avoid last-minute stress.
(I speak from experience—cutting cards in a busy classroom while eager children wait is more stressful than it sounds.)
Here’s how to prepare for Thanksgiving bingo:
1. Gather supplies to print
You will need:
- White paper or sturdy cardstock
- Scissors or a paper trimmer for faster, straighter cuts
- Small prizes such as stickers, candy, or erasers
- Bingo markers of your choice
For markers, you can use everyday items. A few simple ideas:
- Candy corn
- M&Ms
- Hershey’s Kisses
- Small squares of construction paper
2. Print the bingo boards and calling cards
Printing tips:
- Cardstock is recommended if you plan to reuse the cards; it makes them more durable.
- In your print settings choose “Fit” rather than “Actual” so the designs don’t get cropped at the edges.
***Please note this free printable Thanksgiving Bingo template is for personal use only.***
You may print as many copies as you need for private use, but do not redistribute the files. If friends or family want a copy, please direct them to this post so they can download their own.
3. Cut the bingo cards and calling cards
After printing, cut out the bingo cards and calling cards. Place the calling cards in a bag or bowl for drawing.
HOW TO PLAY THANKSGIVING BINGO
Bingo is simple and fun, even for younger players. Follow these steps:
- Give each player a bingo card.
- Provide each player with a handful of markers or candy pieces. While a maximum of 25 markers covers the whole card, kids who snack may need extras.
- Players place a marker on the FREE center space.
- Put all calling cards into a bowl.
- Choose someone to be the bingo caller.
- The caller draws a card, announces the image, and players mark that image on their boards.
- Continue until a player completes five in a row.
- Award a small prize to the winner.
- Play additional rounds as desired.
