Christmas bingo cards in large print
20 Christmas bingo cards, all different, each on its own page with the words set in bold type of 18 point or larger. The squares hold holiday words, not pictures or numbers: holly, candy cane, eggnog, snowflake and presents and 35 more.
The 40 words are sorted under the letters B, I, N, G and O, eight to a letter, so when the caller says “G, snowflake” players only have the G column to look down. The last page is a call sheet for the caller, and there is a caller on this page that draws the words for you.
Prints on US letter paper, one card to a page in large print: 21 pages. Under every page is a button to print just that one. In the print window, choose your printer, or Save as PDF to keep a copy.

How to play
- Give each player a card and something to cover squares with: buttons, coins, dried beans or wrapped candies. To play only once, a pencil is enough.
- Everyone covers the FREE square in the middle before the first call.
- The caller draws a word and reads it out with its letter. Anyone who has the word covers it.
- The first player to cover five squares in a row, across, down or corner to corner, calls “Bingo!”
- The caller checks the row against the words called so far. For a longer game, play on until someone covers the whole card.
Printing the number of cards you need
Cards print in order, so the page number in your print window is the card number: to print cards for eight players, print pages 1 to 8, then page 21 for the call sheet. Each card also has its own print button under it.
There are 20 different cards. With a bigger group, players can share a card in pairs, which also helps anyone who finds the squares hard to see or reach.
Why words, and why this size
Word cards need no key and no memory for which picture means what, and they can be read from the other side of a table. The type on the cards runs from 18 to about 22 point depending on the length of the word, and the B I N G O heading is more than half an inch tall.
For large print, the American Council of the Blind sets 18 point Arial as the base size: ACB large print guidelines.
