Winter Bingo: free printable cards

Printable winter bingo cards with snow days, mittens, hot cocoa and cold weather fun.

Winter bingo is a holiday-neutral game for the long stretch of December, January and February. The squares are all about cold weather: snow, warm clothes, winter animals and indoor treats, so the cards suit classrooms where a specific holiday is not an option.

It makes a good indoor recess game or a cozy family night activity. Print a class set once and pull it out again on every snow day.

One of the 5×5 cards this template makes. Every printed card gets its own layout.

How to play

• Hand out cards and markers.
• Call squares from the call sheet in random order.
• First to complete a row wins.
• Play again for four corners or a full card.

Printing tips

• For a group of up to 30 you can print everything free. Choose 2 cards per page for a standard size, or 4 per page to save paper.
• Turn on the call sheet. It lists every square in a random order with a checkbox, so the caller never repeats one.
• Add a few more squares than the 24 a card needs. The more entries, the more the cards differ.
• Pick “Save as PDF” in the print dialog if you want to email the cards or print them later.
