Get Ready to Play Gobble-Gobble Bingo:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
To play Thanksgiving FEAST Bingo, you’ll need a few simple supplies:
- Free Printable Thanksgiving FEAST Bingo 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 Thanksgiving-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 Thanksgiving decoration. Keep it handy, and you can use the container year after year!
Step 3: Cut Out the Bingo Cards
Print your Thanksgiving Gobble-Gobble Bingo 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 (F, E, 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 F-E-A-S-T on five sides, and a turkey symbol on the sixth side. If the turkey 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 Thanksgiving-themed images before the game begins!
Make It Extra Fun!
For an added twist, try using themed markers like candy corn, cranberries, or autumn-colored buttons. At home, you can even use small toys or Thanksgiving-themed trinkets. And don’t forget, if you roll a “freebie” turkey, 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 “Gobble-Gobble!” in their best turkey voice!
