Christmas Printables (Free Games to Print)

Choosing a game for the moment

Christmas bingo suits a crowd. Everyone gets a different card, and one person calls words like stocking, sleigh and cocoa from a list. It works for eight children or thirty adults.

Christmas word search and word scramble suit quiet time. Hand one out at the table while dinner finishes, or leave a stack by the tree for anyone who wants a break from the noise.

The Christmas lights scavenger hunt is for the car or the walk. Take the list on a drive through the neighborhood and tick off wreaths, inflatable snowmen and a house covered in white lights, and nobody has to speak a word of directions.

For a school party with a mixed class, the Christmas word scramble and the winter pages keep things festive without assuming every family celebrates the same way. Print a few of each so children can choose.

Making the games your own

Every list on these pages can be edited. Add the name of the family dog, take out the carols nobody knows, or swap in words from your own traditions. Our bingo card generator can make up to 30 different cards in one go, and the word search maker places each word in a fresh grid.

If your family celebrates Hanukkah, our Hanukkah bingo has its own list of candles, latkes and dreidels. For Kwanzaa or other winter traditions, the winter bingo page is a good place to start, and you can type your own words into any tool.

A printed game travels well. Put a few sheets, a handful of pencils and a bag of candy canes in a tin and it is ready for the next gathering.
