Winter Bingo

Did you know that playing bingo in the classroom isn’t just fun? Playing bingo can actually help young children develop listening skills, self-regulation, and visual discrimination. There’s plenty of learning that takes place when you play bingo with your kids!

You can ask an adult or older child to supervise this small group game for winter learning and fun.

But playing bingo with young children can be tricky, listening and following directions is tough!

I’ve had the most luck playing bingo with small groups of children.

Playing bingo with small groups is more cost effective because you don’t use as much ink printing mats, and you don’t have to buy as many manipulatives.

Bingo is a great way to introduce young children to games because there are few rules and each player has his or her own game board.

Winter Bingo Supplies

Here are the supplies you’ll need for the color version of the game.

• Cardstock
• Scissors
• Printable color version of the Winter Bingo Game (download below)
• For the color version, print the bingo mats on cardstock first, cut out the mats, and then laminate for durability.

Supplies Needed for Bingo Game (Black and White)

• Copy paper
• Crayons or Do-a-Dot markers
• Printable black and white version of the Winter Bingo Game

Start by giving one winter bingo mat to each child in your small group.

Next, place the manipulatives you will use as bingo chips in the center of the table so all of the children can easily reach them. I used winter themed mini-erasers, but you can use whatever works best for you and your kids.

For the black and white version, give crayons or one Do-a-Dot marker to each child. Do-a-Dot markers are very fun and engaging for young children, they just love using these little paint filled markers to search for pictures on their bingo mat!

Next, you’ll want to demonstrate how to listen to the bingo caller, then how to search for a particular image on your bingo mat and cover it with a marker.

You may need to demonstrate how to play bingo for your children a few times before they really start to get it. But once they catch on to how the game is played, it’s full-steam ahead!

Finally, start playing and let the fun begin!

How to Set-Up Winter Bingo

First print off the calling card and bingo cards (link to the free printable below).

1. Cut out the calling cards and place them in a bowl or jar for selecting.

2. Cut out the bingo cards. Each player gets a bingo card. If you have more than 10 players you can put kids into small groups to play together.

3. Use a candy or non-candy item as markers. When the image is called out, the player puts a marker on that image.

4. When calling out the images – you can describe the image or show the picture.

5. You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won.

How Can I Play With More People?

There are 10 unique cards included. If you have more than 10 players you can break them up into small groups and play in groups of 2-3 players. You can also hand out similar cards and have more than one winner at a time.
