How to Use These Free Printable New Year Bingo Cards
Setup Instructions
Print enough bingo cards for your players, ensuring each participant has a unique card. Cut out the calling cards and place them in a container or bowl to shuffle. If using the included star tokens, cut them out or gather your alternative markers.
Game Rules
Download and Print: Start by downloading and printing them. You’ll need one bingo card for each player, along with the call sheet. This set allows up to 10 people to play at once.
Prepare Your Cards (optional): Once printed, you can laminate the bingo cards to make them reusable for future games. This is a great way to keep them in good condition for next year!
Set Up the Calling Cards: Cut out each icon from the calling card sheet and place the squares into a container or “bingo pot.” For a festive touch, consider using a New Year-themed pot, such as a mini party hat, a gold bucket, or a sparkly bowl.
Distribute the Cards: Give each player a unique card and have your markers ready. You can use the included tokens or try something fun like confetti squares, mini chocolates, or even plastic gold coins.
Start the Game: The caller will draw one icon at a time from the pot and announce it to the players. Each player places a marker on their card where the icon is.
How to Win: To get bingo, players need to form a line of markers either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally across their cards. The first player to achieve this shouts, “Bingo!” Alternatively, make it festive by shouting New Year’s phrases like “Happy New Year!” or “Countdown Complete!” to add a celebratory twist.
