I remember being a kid at New Year’s Eve. I felt so grown up drinking sparkling cider, blowing noisemakers, and staying up long past my bedtime.

Now that I’m a parent myself, I treasure being able to recreate some of those same experiences with my own children. And part of that is making sure we have plenty of games to play as a family.

That’s why I’m so excited about these free printable New Year’s Eve bingo cards. They bring together all the fun of a classic game with the festive energy of New Year’s Eve.

How to Play:

Prepare Your Cards

With prices skyrocketing, I’m all about saving money where I can, which is why I designed the cards to fit two per sheet of paper.

This means you’ll have to cut the bingo sheets apart to separate them. Don’t forget to check out some of the tips below for easy options to cut everything out)

If you’re working with a crowd, or don’t feel like cutting the cards out, you can grab a set of full page New Year’s Eve Bingo cards right here.

Hand Out Supplies to Each Player

Each player will need at least one card and a handful of markers. Make sure to let them know to cover the free space before starting.

The Leader Can Use the Call Out Card in one of two ways:

1. Let the leader roll a marker onto the card to randomly pick out each picture. Then mark the picture in one of the squares underneath the image, or
2. Cut the squares out from the call out card and place them into a bag. Then have the leader pull the pictures out of the bag until someone calls Bingo!

To Win the Game:

As soon as a player covers 5 squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), they call out “BINGO!” The first person to call out wins the game.

A Few Tips for Printing Your Bingo Cards

Even the best picture doesn’t look good if it isn’t printed properly. Here are a few tips to make sure that your printable New Year’s Eve bingo cards look great and are durable:

Use The Right Paper

While you can use regular printer paper to print off the cards, you should know that the colors won’t be as vibrant as bright white card stock. 

To Cut Your Cards

For a night at home with the kids – The simplest way is a single cut right down the middle of the sheet, leaving all the edges. Trust me, your kids probably won’t care. But if you want them to look nice, you can always enlist the kids to cut the cards out too.

If you’re hosting a party – The easiest way to cut the cards is to use a straight edge paper cutter. Yes, you can use plain old scissors, but the paper cutter just makes things so much faster!

Or, you can even use Cricut Print and Cut for these cards. This video shows exactly how to do that.

Protect the Cards Until It’s Time to Use Them

I like to store the cards into a gallon-sized ziplock bag. That way they’re protected if you transport them to school or if you want to take them out for a family dinner.
