How to Play Halloween Bingo

What you need

• One printed bingo card per player
• Markers: dot stickers, crayons, dried beans, or wrapped candies
• A bowl or hat and the calling list, cut into strips

Setup

1. Cut the 24 calling-list items into strips and fold them into the bowl.
2. Give each player one bingo card and a pile of markers.
3. The middle square of every card is FREE — everyone marks it before the game starts.

Rules

1. The caller draws one strip, reads the word aloud, and shows it to the room.
2. Players who have that word on their card cover it with a marker.
3. The first player to complete a winning pattern shouts “BINGO!” and reads their covered words back so the caller can check them against the drawn strips.
4. If the card checks out, that player wins the round. Clear the cards and start a new round with a different card layout if you have one.

Winning patterns

• Line: any full row, column, or diagonal. Best for young kids and fast rounds.
• Four corners: the four corner squares plus the free center. A fun medium round.
• Blackout: every square on the card covered. Save this for the final grand-prize round — it takes the longest.

How to Make Your Own Bingo Cards

Three cards are enough for a small group, but a bigger party needs more. Here is the easy method:

1. Draw a 5-by-5 grid on paper or in a document, with FREE in the center square.
2. Pick 24 different words from the calling list above.
3. Shuffle the words and write one per square. Change the order on every card so no two cards match.
4. Double-check each card: every word must appear exactly once, and the center must say FREE.
5. Tip: make at least two more cards than players, so everyone can swap to a fresh layout between rounds.

Picture Bingo for Preschoolers

Kids who cannot read yet can still play. Instead of words, draw or print a small picture in each square: a pumpkin doodle, a ghost shape, a bat silhouette. Read the calling words aloud and show the matching picture strip so little players can match by sight. Keep rounds to the Line pattern only, and let a grown-up be the caller. For ages 3 and 4, play cooperatively — everyone works on one big card together and the whole table wins.

Prize Ideas

• Stickers, temporary tattoos, and mini erasers for classroom rounds
• Small wrapped candies or chocolate coins for home parties
• A “pick from the prize pumpkin” basket for the blackout grand-prize winner
• Printed award certificates: “Bingo Champion of Halloween Night”
• Non-candy prizes for allergy-friendly parties: bubbles, glow bracelets, or bookmarks

Printing Tips

• Print cards on card stock if you can — regular paper curls after a few rounds.
• Print the calling list on a separate page, then cut it into strips with scissors.
• For reusable cards, slide each card into a sheet protector and mark squares with dry-erase markers.
• Playing with a big group? Print in black and white and let kids color their cards while everyone arrives — it doubles as a calm-down activity.
• Test-print one card first to make sure the grid fits on one page in Portrait orientation.

Host tip: run Line rounds for the first few games to keep energy high, then finish the night with one blackout round for a grand prize. The slow build makes the finale feel special.
