Getting Started with Thanksgiving Bingo

Step1: Gather Supplies

To play Thanksgiving Bingo, you’ll need a few additional supplies:

• Bingo cards (You can download them below).
• Small items such as small candies or buttons to use as markers (I like to use candy corn as bingo markers for both this Thanksgiving bingo game and the Halloween bingo game)
• A bowl or hat to hold the calling cards
• A printer (so you can print out the printable cards in this fun bingo game)

Step 2: Set the Scene

Before you start this fun activity, create a cozy Thanksgiving atmosphere in your home. Decorate your space with fall colors, leaves, pumpkins, and other festive decorations.  You can also play soft background music to enhance the ambiance.

There are plenty of free printables on this site that you can use to help decorate your space to be more festive.  There are some free printable fall leaves outlines here.  

You can get some free printable pumpkin outlines here.  Both of these fall-themed outlines can be used in DIY decorations.

If you want something already done and ready to put up, there are some free printable Thanksgiving signs here.  There is also a free printable Happy Thanksgiving banner here.

Step 3: Download and Print

The first step is to download our free printable Thanksgiving Bingo game.  Enter your email address in the space below to get the call sheet, instructions, and four unique cards.

Then, check your inbox for an email containing a link to the free download PDF file.  If you four is not enough cards and you need more bingo game cards because you have a large group, you can get an additional 23 bingo cards in the shop (for a total of 27).

Alternatively, you can split up in small groups and print multiple copies of the free printable Thanksgiving bingo cards and play that way.  In this instance one person from each of the small groups will win at the same time (since the same four cards are being reused).

You can use cardstock like this to print the printable bingo cards on for durability so that you can easily reuse them year after year without printing out a new set.

Step 4: Distribute Cards and Markers

Give each player a Bingo card and a handful of markers (bingo chips, candies or buttons).  Ensure everyone has different cards, as the cards have various Thanksgiving-themed items in different arrangements.

How to Play Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving Bingo is a simple and fun game that players of all ages can enjoy.  I think that most people already know how to play this classic game of bingo, but in case you have never played, here’s how to play:

1. One person acts as the Bingo caller and is responsible for drawing calling cards from the bowl or hat and announcing them to the players.
2. As the caller draws a calling card and announces the item, players mark the corresponding item on their Bingo cards.
3. Players can choose to mark the items with candies or buttons by placing them over the item or use some pennies or small ripped-up pieces of paper.
4. The first player to complete a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts “Bingo!” to win that round.  (You can choose whatever word you want for winners to shout – “Turkey” is a fun one for this Thanksgiving bingo game.)
5. Continue playing as many rounds as you like or until everyone has had their fill of Thanksgiving fun.

Ideas for Using Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving Bingo is a versatile game that can be used in various ways to enhance your holiday gathering:

3. Thanksgiving Bingo Scavenger Hunt: Turn Thanksgiving Bingo into a scavenger hunt by having players find real-life objects corresponding to the Bingo card items.  For example, players can look for a turkey, a pumpkin, or a cornucopia in your Thanksgiving decor.
