Get ready to add some festive fun to your holiday celebrations with this New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza game! Perfect for classroom parties, family gatherings, or just a fun at-home activity, this game is easy to set up and sure to bring holiday fun. Whether you’re planning a class party or a cozy family game night during the holidays, this free printable will be a hit!

Because we homeschooled, we didn’t have big class parties like in public schools. Instead, we created our own fun to celebrate the holiday season. Games like New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza are a quick and easy way to bring a little holiday excitement into your day!

New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza is Holiday Fun for Everyone!

Get Ready to Play New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza:

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

To play New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza, you’ll need a few simple supplies:

  • Free Printable New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza Boards (download below)
  • White Cardstock (for printing the boards and cards)
  • Scissors (to cut out the bingo cards)
  • A Container (like a mason jar or holiday-themed basket to hold the picture cards)
  • Game Markers (you can use gems, candy, or any small items)

Step 2: Prep Your Container

Add a festive touch by storing the bingo cards and markers in a fun container. A mason jar filled with crinkle paper works great, or you could reuse a small basket or holiday decoration. Keep it handy, and you can use the container year after year!

Step 3: Cut Out the Bingo Cards

Print your New Year’s Eve Bingo Bonanza boards and picture cards onto white cardstock. For durability, consider laminating the cards to protect them from spills and sticky fingers. Once printed, cut out the bingo cards and add them to your container.

Let the Game Begin!

OPTION 1 – Pass the Jar

Pass the jar around and have each player draw a card and call out the image and the letter (*T, O, A, S, or T). Players then check their boards to see if they have the image in the corresponding column. If they do, they can place a marker on that spot. Keep playing until someone fills a row and shouts “Bingo!”

OPTION 2 – Roll the Die

Create a foam die with the letters *T-O-A-S-T on five sides, and a star on the sixth side. If the star symbol comes up on a roll, that’s a “freebie,” and the player can place a marker wherever they like on their board.

OPTION 3 – Group Play

In a classroom or large group setting, designate one person to draw the cards and call out the images and letters. Players mark their boards as the game progresses. For extra fun, let the players customize their own Bingo cards with HOLIDAY-themed images before the game begins!

Make It Extra Fun!

For an added twist, try using themed markers like clear plastic gems, fancy buttons, or candy. At home, you can even use small toys or holiday-themed trinkets. And don’t forget, if you roll a “freebie” star, you can place your marker anywhere on your board that matches the picture!

Instead of shouting “Bingo!” when they have all the pictures in a row covered, have the kids shout “Happy New Year’s!” in their loudest voice!

Download Your Free New Year’s Bingo Bonanza Game

The free download includes six different Bingo boards, each with a colorful winter theme. The set also includes the *T-O-A-S-T cards and picture cards needed to play the game.

For markers, you can use buttons, pennies, or fun items like candy corn. If you’re using this game for a classroom or party, enlarge the picture cards so all the players can easily see which cards are drawn.

Make sure you print enough boards for everyone, and have a couple of copies of the picture cards ready for group play. Using big cards will help everyone follow along during the game!

    One more variation is stand up bingo. Everyone stands up (preferably on the chair). Call a number. If it is on your board sit down. Last one standing is winner! Kids love it.

    I am planning our New Years and will add bingo to list. Check out what we are doing at http://www.growingplay.blogspot.com
