If you are looking for a winter bingo game, you’ve come to the right spot. This bingo game is a great way to pass the time on those cold winter days.
The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are starting to drop, which means winter is almost here. After growing up in Wisconsin, I can tell you those cold winter days can last for what feels like an eternity.
This is why it is SO important to have fun games and activities for your kids to play indoors on those days when it is just too cold to go outside. This is why I have created and am sharing a fun winter bingo game.
This winter bingo can be played with small or large groups (up to 25) and is great for all ages, from toddlers and preschoolers to teenagers, adults, and seniors. Seriously, who doesn’t love bingo?!
So, whether you are a teacher looking for a fun winter theme school activity or a parent looking for a game to play indoors with your kids, this winter bingo game is for you!
This post is all about winter bingo.

Directions
At the bottom of the post, you will find the free printable winter bingo game. On this printable, there are 25 different winter bingo cards, as well as both small and large calling cards.
If you are playing with a small group, then you won’t need to print all 25 bingo cards. Just print off cards for the number of players you have. Make sure you print off the calling cards on the last page of the printable, though.
There will be two identical pages of calling cards. Cut out the individual cards on ONE of these. Then, as you play the game and draw cards, you will cover them up on the uncut page. This makes it easier to see which ones have been called.
If you’d rather use larger calling cards, you’ll find those on a separate free printable at the bottom of this post. Download and print them off. Then, cut out each calling card. These calling cards are great for playing with large groups, such as in the classroom.
After you have downloaded and printed the winter bingo game, I highly recommend laminating the bingo boards and calling cards. I use my Amazon Basics Laminator and Laminating Sheets to laminate all of the bingo game cards and calling cards.

If you don’t own a laminator, you’ll at least want to print using cardstock like this because regular printer paper will not hold up very well (especially if you are playing this game with kids).

After you have your bingo game laminated, you are all set and can begin playing!
How to Play Winter Bingo
To start the game, have each player choose a bingo card. You can either let each person pick their own card or just hand them out. Because there are 25 different bingo cards, you can play with up to 25 people.
Next, hand out bingo chips like these to everyone playing. Each player will place a bingo chip on the free space in the middle of their board.
Place the calling cards in a bowl and draw one out. When you draw a calling card, show the group the image on the card or tell them what it is.
Each player will then check their bingo card for that picture. If they have the image on their card, they get to cover it up with a bingo chip.
The first player to get five in a row covered either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally yells BINGO.
They will recite the images they have covered back to the card caller, and if all of their images have in fact been called, then they are the winner! If they have incorrectly covered something, then the game continues until there is a winner.
Once a winner has been determined, have everyone clear their bingo board and start again. To make the winter bingo game even more fun, you could put together some small prizes for the winners!
Winter Bingo Images
There are 30 different winter images on the bingo boards. When you are calling out the items, you can either show the group the picture on the calling card or tell them what the image is.
