Free Printable Thanksgiving Bingo Cards
Thanksgiving bingo is one of those activities that always brings kids together, whether we’re at home waiting for dinner or celebrating with a larger group.
Over the years, I’ve found it to be the perfect low-prep game that works for all ages, simple enough for preschoolers to follow and still fun for older kids if you give them a little challenge.
With these free printable Thanksgiving bingo cards, you’ll have an easy way to keep the holiday fun and stress-free.

Preparing Your Free Printable Thanksgiving Bingo Cards
To get started, print the five free printable bingo boards (5×5) along with the set of calling images.
I usually use cardstock so the cards last longer, but regular printer paper works too if you’re short on time.
If you want to reuse the game year after year, laminating the boards and calling cards is worth the extra step. A paper trimmer makes cutting faster, though scissors work just fine, just be sure to only cut the small calling pieces, not the bingo boards themselves.
Once the calling cards are ready, place them into a bowl, basket, or even a festive cornucopia for a fun holiday touch.
Now you’ve got everything prepared for an easy, low-prep Thanksgiving bingo game that works in the classroom, homeschool, or around the family table.
How to play
Hand each player a bingo card and give them something to use as dot markers, candy corn, buttons, or coins all work well.
Choose one person to be the caller, who will draw a card from the bowl and announce the picture, such as “Pumpkin” or “Turkey.”
Players check their boards and mark the matching space if they have it. The goal is to be the first to complete a row, column, or diagonal. When someone gets a line, they shout “Bingo!” and the group pauses to check the card.
To keep the game moving, rotate callers each round so everyone has a chance. Adding small prizes, stickers, extra dessert, or a Thanksgiving trinket, makes it even more exciting.
More Thanksgiving Activities for Kids
If your kids enjoyed Thanksgiving bingo, you can keep the holiday fun going with a few other simple printables.
Try a Thanksgiving memory match game where players flip cards to find pairs of holiday images. It’s a quick way to build concentration and memory skills while still feeling festive.
You can also spark creativity with Thanksgiving coloring pages that give kids a quiet activity to enjoy while waiting for dinner.
For children who like a little extra challenge, the Thanksgiving color by number printables combine art with number practice as they reveal bright holiday pictures.
Another favorite is Thanksgiving cards to color, where kids can design their own greetings and add personal messages of gratitude. It’s an easy way to mix creativity with thoughtfulness.
And if bingo was a hit, don’t miss the turkey bingo printable for another fun holiday twist!

Best Thanksgiving Books for Preschoolers
When my son was little, holiday books were one of the easiest ways to get him excited about Thanksgiving. These three quickly became favorites in our house.
- 10 Fat Turkeys is pure silliness, with goofy turkeys getting into all sorts of mischief. The rhythmic countdown had my son giggling every time, and it’s one of those read-alouds where kids can easily chime in.
- Pete the Cat the First Thanksgiving mixes Pete’s usual charm with a gentle introduction to the Pilgrims’ story. I liked how it opened up little conversations about gratitude and friendship without feeling too heavy for preschoolers.
- The Night before Thanksgiving captures all the anticipation kids feel the night before a big holiday. The rhyming text makes it fun to read aloud, and the busy, cheerful illustrations always reminded us of our own family gatherings.
