Or take a set that is already made

Four sets sized for different groups. Every card within a set is different, and they print two to a page.

Christmas bingo earns its place on the last afternoon of term and on the afternoon of the day itself, which are the two moments in the year when a room contains more people than things to do. It needs no setup beyond printing, and it works with a group that has nothing else in common.

The ready-made sets use the words a room already knows, tinsel and sleigh and reindeer and mistletoe, in sets of eight, sixteen and thirty. Thirty is a full class; eight is a family. Every card in a set is checked against the others, so nobody wins on the same call as the person beside them.

The 3 × 3 set is the one to reach for when there are small children and food coming. Nine squares finishes before patience does, and finishing is most of the point at that age.

For a family game, the version people remember is the one built from their own list: the relative who always falls asleep, the argument about the thermostat, whatever your Christmas actually contains. The maker below takes it, and the cards print two to a page.

Common questions

Will this work for a class party and a family Christmas?

Both, and the difference is the set you print rather than the cards. Thirty cards suits a class, eight or sixteen a living room. The 3 × 3 set is the one to use if there are young children waiting to eat, because nine squares finishes before patience does.

Do we need prizes and counters?

Neither. A pencil works for marking, and most rooms play for the sake of winning. If you want counters without buying any, chocolate coins and raisins both survive being passed around a table, and the winner gets to eat theirs.

How many words do I need?

At least 24 for a 5 × 5 card, or nine for a 3 × 3. The 5 × 5 needs 24 rather than 25 because the middle square is free. Around 30 to 40 words gives genuinely varied cards.

Are the cards really all different?

Yes. Each card is checked against every card already in the set before it is added, so duplicates cannot slip through. If your word list is too small to make the number you asked for, the tool tells you how many are actually possible rather than quietly repeating.

Is there a free square?

On the 5 × 5 cards, in the middle, as usual. The 3 × 3 cards do not have one, with only nine squares a free one makes the game too short.

How many cards can I make at once?

Up to 40 in a single PDF, which covers most classes and parties. They print two to a page at the standard size.

Can I use my own words?

Yes, choose Write my own and type or paste your list. Guest names, spelling words, vocabulary terms, anything. Your list stays in your browser and is never sent to us.

Do I need an account?

No sign-up, no email, no watermark on the printed cards.
