Thanksgiving bingo cards

A game for the long afternoon between the oven and the table. Mark what happens, edit any square and print as many different cards as you need.

Your bingo game

One word or phrase per line. Use 40 or more entries so every card looks different.

How to play

  1. Print a card for each guest, or one per household.
  2. Mark a square when it happens. Nobody has to call it out.
  3. Five in a row wins a small prize, such as first pick of dessert.
  4. Play for a full card to last until the pie.

Keep it kind

Edit the list for your own table, and leave out anything that would single someone out.

  • Add a few squares for helpers, such as “someone sets the table”.
  • Aim for 40 or more squares so the cards differ.
  • Use large print for older relatives by choosing short phrases.

Frequently asked questions

Can kids play Thanksgiving bingo?

Yes. Short squares print in a larger font, which helps younger readers. Pair a child with an adult if the words are hard.

Do I need to call out the squares?

No. This is event bingo. Guests mark squares as they see them happen.

How many different cards can I make?

Up to 30 per set. Each card is checked against the others so none match.

Can I add my own family squares?

Yes. Edit the list, one square per line, and press the button to update every card.
