Our free printable Harry Potter bingo game comes with 30 different bingo boards and a calling card page so that you can have a fun and easy Harry Potter party game. You could use this inexpensive six pack of Bertie Botts every flavor beans as prizes for the winners or it wouldn’t take long to find other fun prizes on Amazon.
The holidays are officially underway and you’ve probably already attended a few online parties, but now the time has come for you to throw your very own virtual festivities. By now, you’re a professional at hosting a holiday party on Zoom. Invitations have been sent, food has been made (or ordered), and all that's left is to decide which games and activities will give your guests the fun they know they're in for.
After playing the perfect icebreaker game, you and your guests are ready to move into the classics. Many have been taking the modern route with new gaming platforms like Jackbox and Houseparty, but don’t forget about the original games that many take after today. You know what I’m talking about: scavenger hunts, Never Have I Ever, Charades, and of course, Bingo.
The history of Bingo is said to go back to the 1500's in Italy from a traditional lottery game, Il Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia. As it traveled throughout Europe, the game landed in the U.S. in the 1920’s and has since become the party time favorite that it is today. One great thing about classic party games is that most (if not, all) can be played virtually.

Give your next holiday party a classic look, and read all about how to have a virtual Bingo party for the ages.
Step 1: Set A Theme
Of course your party needs a theme! While holiday is pretty broad, narrow your party theme down by focusing on your favorite (or friends' favorite) things about the holiday. You can have a winter wonderland theme, gingerbread theme, or just do classic holiday colors like red and green. Once you're all set, you can customize your invitations around said theme.
Step 2: Get The Invitiations Ready
As with any holiday party, you're going to want to get the word out to your friends before the big day. Customize your own invitations with online tools like Smilebox and Paperless Post.
Step 3: Create Bingo Card Items
Time to get those Bingo cards ready for the big night. You can make randomized Bingo cards that have the traditional numbers or you can customize your Bingo cards to have specific words that fit the holidays and your party's theme. Once you've created enough random cards (or have your friends create their own cards), send them out to your guests either before or at the beginning of your party.

You're now completely set up to play virtual Bingo with your friends. Grab a festive cocktail, look over some key rules (maybe read them before drinking), and get ready to watch your friends go to virtual war to see who will fill their card the fastest.As the host, you can also join in on the fun by having another friend or a randomized website choose the clues to be called.
Step 5: Choose Prizes (Optional)
Bingo is one of those games where most expect to leave with something, especially if they win. Treat the winner (or, heck, treat all of your friends) to some virtual goodies that will make everyone's evening a little more merry.
You can't go wrong with this nostalgic favorite. Guaranteed a great time for everyone, have fun putting a modern twist on this classic. Eat, drink, be merry, and bingo!
Below you’ll find our free 4×4 printable Christmas Bingo. This game and all the rest of the printables on our site are original, exclusive, and best of all – free for your personal use.
The Bingo rules are quite simple. Each person gets a bingo card (we have 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 Christmas bingo cards for you to print). Each of these bingo cards is different and has a random selection of pictures (we have 40 different cards).

A caller pulls out little pictures from a hat or container (these pictures are the ones on the bingo call sheet, which you print and cut out), shows it to everyone and describes it.
When someone finds a matching picture on their Christmas bingo card, they mark it out with rocks, pennies, stickers, etc. Once someone is able to fill out the predetermined pattern, that person yells out “BINGO” and wins a prize.
There are many different combination patterns.
Blackout – Usually played with the 3×3 Christmas bingo card. All of the pictures need to be marked out:
Lines – Can be played with any size bingo cards. Players need to mark out a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line:

T’s – Players need to create any type of T:
U’s – Players need to create any type of U:
Square – Players need to create a Square:
It would be best to have a rule that each person can win only one prize (you can have different prizes for a different combination; a prize for blackouts, a prize for lines, a prize for T’s, etc.).
Sometimes in a game, two people can combine a pattern and win the same prize at the same time. In this case you can play “rock, paper, scissors” or draw straws to determine who gets the prize and who keeps on playing for the next prize.

You can also make this Christmas bingo game educational. For example – the caller picks out a Santa picture. All the people who have that Santa picture get up and gather into a group. The caller asks them any type of question (best if it has something to do with Christmas!! Anything relevant to the age group – could be spelling, history, math, even something physical they need to do – like hop on one foot, etc.).
