How to Play

How to play Thanksgiving bingo

Give every player a card and something to mark squares with. The caller reads the words from the caller list in any order and ticks each one off. Players mark the word if it is on their card. The first player to complete the round's pattern shouts “Bingo!” and the caller checks their card against the ticked words.

How many cards and words do you need?

Ideas

Tips for a fun Thanksgiving bingo game

Small touches that make the game more fun for everyone at the table.

01

Play before dinner

Bingo keeps kids and early guests busy while the turkey finishes, without anyone underfoot in the kitchen.

02

Add a grateful square

Change the free space text to "I am thankful for" and have each winner share one thing before claiming a prize.

03

Use candy corn as markers

Candy corn, popcorn kernels or dry beans work as markers, and nobody needs a pen.

04

Make a football version

Type words like touchdown, fumble and field goal, then play along with the Thanksgiving game.
