Thanksgiving Fun Alert!

I’ve learned that no matter the age, kids love Bingo!

Since we have gobs of Thanksgiving Crafts and Halloween Bingo already, we knew we needed to create a Thanksgiving-themed version of Bingo. The good news is… it’s FREE!

What’s Included in the Thanksgiving Bingo Printable?

We wanted to make this a game that is easy to do in classrooms so we included LOTS of playing cards. Here is what will come in the free 21 page printable:

Instructions for the facilitator
Two pages of all the images included in the game. These will be what the facilitator cuts up, draws, and calls out. The images are enlarged so kids can easily see them.
18 Bingo cards. Every card is unique.

How to Play Thanksgiving Bingo

Cut out each item from pages 2 and 3 in the printable. These will be what the facilitator draws and calls out. Place them in a bowl or bag.
Distribute 1 card to each player and provide place markers (pieces of paper, candy corn, etc.)
Draw and announce one item at a time. Show picture of image to help kids.
Five in a row wins, including diagonally.

Tips to Make Thanksgiving Bingo Extra Fun

Use fun place markers. Ideas mentioned above!
Have the winner be the facilitator for the next round. This is motivating for the kids!
Keep the prize a surprise. Put prizes in brown paper bags and have them open the prize in front of the group. Check out the dollar store for funny gag prizes.
Have the facilitator wear a Turkey hat!
Have kids switch cards around in between rounds. For some reason they like this.
Have more than one winner. Don’t stop the game right when someone calls Bingo. Let the game keeping playing out for a few more rounds.
