Thanksgiving Bingo Game – A Holiday Must-Have

Bingo Basics

Thanksgiving theme Bingo set is the perfect way to keep kids entertained at family gatherings while waiting for Thanksgiving dinner – or while waiting for pumpkin pie after the Thanksgiving feast!

It’s a classic game that’s easy to play, quick to learn, and fun for children of all ages.

The objective of this printable interactive activity is simple: be the first one to complete a row, column, or diagonal of five squares.

The caller randomly selects a Thanksgiving-themed image and calls it out to the players. If the called item is on your bingo card, place a marker on the corresponding square. When you have a winning line, be the first player to shout “Bingo!” and celebrate your win!

PLEASE NOTE: This set of unique cards is for personal use only.

How To Play Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving Bingo is a fun autumn activity for the entire family, and it’s perfect for any occasion.

Traditional Bingo Game Rules

Prepare the materials – Print out these printable bingo cards – there are 25 unique Bingo cards. You’ll also get a set of calling cards (to cut out from the card sheet) for the caller to use. NOTE: I recommend printing your own Bingo cards on card stock, cutting out the different cards, and laminating them before playing.
Choose tokens or Bingo markers – As you play, kids will place tokens on the squares of their bingo card when a corresponding picture is called. Check out my ideas for markers below!
Assign a caller – One person will be responsible for drawing calling cards from a container and announcing the picture.
Play the game – Each player starts by putting a marker on the free space
in the middle of the Thanksgiving Bingo game cards. Then they listen for the called pictures and place a marker on their card if they have a match. The winner is the first person to complete a full row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and shout “BINGO!”

Thanksgiving Theme Bingo Variations

Prize options – To make this great game even more enticing, consider offering small prizes for the winners. They can be whatever you want – use your imagination!
Switching our callers – Give everyone a chance to be the caller for a game!

I hope this printable Bingo game adds a ton of fun, holiday cheer, and laughs to your holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving!
