How to Play Christmas Bingo
Give each player 1 Christmas Bingo Card. (If you like, you can also give each player 2 or more cards.)
Have everyone cross out the “Free Space” square in the middle of their Christmas Bingo Cards. Alternatively, use a Bingo chip, M&M, bead, Lego, coin or any small toy to mark the square.
The game leader randomly picks 1 Christmas Bingo Calling Card at a time from the bag or container and reveals the image on the calling card to all the players.
Players must look for that image on their Christmas Bingo Card and cross out that square.
The first player to cross out 5 squares in a row (in any direction) and shouts “Merry Bingo Christmas!” wins.

Conclusion
God loves us so much that he wants to be with us forever and ever! But we cannot be with God because we have all sinned. We have all done things that are wrong. Telling lies, fighting and stealing are examples of sins.
So God sent his Son, Jesus, to come to earth to die on the cross so that all of our sins can be forgiven.
And on the third day, Jesus became alive again!
If you choose to accept this perfect Christmas gift of Jesus, you can be with God forever and ever.
You can accept Jesus by:
1. Admitting that you have sinned and asking God to forgive you,
2. Believing that Jesus died on the cross to be punished instead of you, and
3. Inviting Jesus into your life to help you turn away from sin.
You can talk to Jesus about this right now:
Dear Jesus, I know that I have sinned. I believe that you died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. Please forgive all of my sins. Please come into my life and help me turn away from doing wrong. Thank you that because you took the punishment for my sins, I can have a relationship with you now and will one day be with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen

2 thoughts on “Christmas Bingo”
I really love this game!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the free downloadable Christmas Bingo game!! I was trying to make one, and then I found one online. After starting to print it I realized Jesus was not a part of it at all; and He should be the focal point. So then I found yours. I really appreciate how you provide these and other items at no charge online—-that’s a great ministry in itself.
