How do you play Christmas Lights Bingo?
Unlike traditional bingo that is played with numbers or images, our Christmas lights bingo printable is a festive party game that is played by spotting various Christmas lights and Christmas decorations while on a walk around the neighborhood.
To play the game, simply print out as many copies of our free Christmas lights bingo printable cards as you need (one bingo sheet for each player).
Then, when you’re ready to play, have your party guests bundle up and head outside for a decoration and Christmas light scavenger hunt in your neighborhood.
For example, when you see a north pole sign, a Mrs Claus decoration or a gingerbread boy you check it off your bingo card. First person to get a line Bingos!
Players can use a pencil, pen, marker or bingo daubers to check off each item as they find it on their bingo board while they are out walking. The first person to get a line on their card and shout “Bingo!” is the winner.
You can reward winners with a small prize (see some of our favorite prize suggestions below) or simply let them enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that they won!
Either way, this Christmas lights scavenger hunt printable game is sure to be a big hit with party guests of all ages.
