New Year’s Eve Bingo Game

This New Year’s bingo printable is a simple way to keep kids engaged while bringing the whole group together. The set includes five unique 5×5 bingo boards and a themed calling card, so you can start playing right away.

It works just as well at a family gathering as it does in a classroom party, giving children a festive, screen-free activity.

Playing bingo always reminds me of my own childhood, and it’s one of those games that never loses its charm because kids and adults can enjoy it side by side.

How to Set Up the Bingo Boards

Print the pages in color for a bright look, or in black and white if you’d like kids to color their own. For sturdier boards, cardstock works best, though regular printer paper is fine too. The file includes six pages in total:

• Five unique bingo boards (one per page)
• One calling card sheet with all the icons to cut apart

For durability, consider laminating the boards and calling cards. Place the cut calling card pieces into a bowl or hat for easy drawing during the game.

How to Play

1. Give each player one bingo board. If you’re in a classroom, students can pair up so everyone is included.
2. Use dot markers, coins, or even small candies as bingo markers.
3. Draw a calling card and announce it to the group. Players mark the matching square if it appears on their board.
4. The first player to mark five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts “BINGO!” to win.

For extra fun, you can play blackout (filling the entire board) or four corners. These variations stretch out the game and keep the excitement going.
