Which Vacation Announcement Scavenger Hunts for Kids will you be using?

Christmas Vacation Bingo Game

Looking for some Christmas activities for toddlers and preschoolers? Then you have to check out the latest addition to our free printable bingo cards for kids. Like our popular insect bingo, the printable includes 4 Bingo Christmas game boards, each with 9 images.

Bingo Christmas Activity For Kids

While this Bingo pack is nowhere near as comprehensive as our Christmas Bingo activity pack for classrooms, this set is good for children who are younger, like 2 year olds, 3 year olds and 4 year olds who have a shorter attention span. Like the Bingo Colors game, the game goes by pretty quickly but still allows you to subtly work on vocabulary words. Playing Bingo with children is a wonderful way to help them learn new vocabulary words for common items they will likely be seeing around them.

Have you downloaded my Christmas activity pack? The pack is filled with SO many puzzle, games and activities to create a whole fun learning unit at home. Children would work on early math skills, building words, etc. Add the Christmas Sensory Bin to your play for even more fun!

How to set up the Christmas Bingo activity:

Christmas Vacation Trivia Game Printable

Print out the calling cards and game pieces that you would like to use. If you need two boards, print out two, if you want to use all four, then print out all four. I suggest you print it on to a thicker paper than normal printer paper. This makes it easier to use and enhances the quality, especially if you don’t plan to laminate it. I always use this type of paper for my printable activities.
