Heading out to look at the Christmas lights is something we have done every year since the kids were small. We still want to make it a tradition while we have the kids here at home with us. They do both look forward to it and since we have incorporated the games as they have gotten older, they love it even more.
We like to have some healthy competition in our house and any time I can come up with games for us to play, we all put our game faces on and get ready to play.
We created four different bingo cards to go with this game. They all have the same images on them, but they are all in a different order. We laminated them so we can use dry-erase markers and wipe them off when we get home and use them again next year.
When we head out this year, I will have all of the bingo cards face-down on the table and we will roll a dice to see who gets to pick their card first.
I will put the cards on clip boards so they are easy to mark while we are driving in the car.
Hot cocoa will be served and a side of cookies or another snack will surely be included.
Once we are in the car and say, “start”, the game begins.
As we drive around the neighborhoods to look at lights, each person needs to look for certain things on their bingo card and cross left off as they see them.
The first person to get four in a row needs to tell “bingo” and they win.
You can play this over and over again as people win and as you drive to different neighborhoods.
If your family is anything like ours, tradition is important and so is a little game to make those traditions even more fun.
I would love to know if you give this a try! Print off the FREE bingo cards HERE.

Happy Christmas light hunting!

Are your kids going bonkers for Christmas right now? Mine certainly are. We have lots of festive activities planned for the next few weeks, so hopefully the time will fly by quickly for them.
Last week, we kicked off December with a Polar Express party for some of the neighborhood kids. It was so fun! The kids had a ridiculous amount of sugar, so you know they all went home happy.
This week on the blog, I’m going to be sharing several posts about how I pulled together a festive and fun party without making myself completely crazy. Because nobody needs more stress this time of year.
First up is this printable Christmas Bingo game! It was one of our party games, and it was a hit! Whether you’re hosting family for the holidays, planning a neighborhood or class party, or are just looking for anything to keep your crazy kiddos occupied until Christmas, this game is for you!
Enough chit-chat though. Let’s get to making the game!
Materials
- Printable Bingo game packet
- Scissors or paper trimmer
- laminator/plastic sheets (optional but highly recommended if you want to be able to use the game again)
- Holiday M&Ms or other small markers (pennies, beads, mini erasers, etc.)
Instructions
- Print out and cut Bingo cards and calling cards. Laminate, if desired.
- Give each player a Bingo card and 25 small markers (we used M&Ms).
- Have players put a marker on the “free” space.
- Flip all the calling cards upside down. Flip one right side up and call it out (example: “snowman!”) and help players find and mark the snowman on their cards.
- Continue play until someone gets Bingo! After someone gets Bingo, you can continue the same game, or you can clear the boards and start a new round.
Notes
You can also try one of these variations:
Charlie Brown Christmas Family Bingo
- Instead of having one designated Bingo caller, allow players to take turns flipping over cards. (This only works well in small groups where you can put the cards in the middle of a table where everyone can reach.) Everyone still places a marker for each picture flipped over, not just the player who flipped it.
- Play around with the rules of what a player has to do to “win”. Require the winner to get two Bingos…or even Bingo in two different directions (my boys loved this one).
