When to play Traditional Christmas Carols bingo

How long Traditional Christmas Carols bingo lasts

This list was simulated 150 times in random call orders on its first 60 cards. A room of 30 usually has a line by call 14, which is about 2 minutes at 10 seconds a call, and a full card by call 43 of 48.

Traditional Christmas Carols bingo cards for 50, 100 or 200 players

A free set prints 30 unique cards, so a bigger room needs several sets (New shuffle makes the next one) or one Pro set of up to 1,000. The last two columns come from 150 shuffled games on cards 1-200 of this Traditional Christmas Carols set, at 10 seconds a call.

Running Traditional Christmas Carols bingo in a big room

• Number the sets: print set 1, press New shuffle for set 2 and so on. 4 free sets cover 100 players and 7 cover 200; each set's share link reprints exactly the same cards.
• Plan for shared wins: with 200 cards in play, 21% of simulated games had two or more cards complete a line on the same call (17% with 50). Keep spare prizes or a quick tie-break ready.
• Expect short rounds: the first line comes around call 10 of 48 with 200 players, against call 14 with 30, so follow it with a blackout or a picture pattern.
• Count the paper: at one card per page, 200 players need 200 sheets plus a caller sheet; Pro's 2-up and 4-up layouts cut that to 100 or 50.

How to host Traditional Christmas Carols bingo

1. 1

   Print the Traditional Christmas Carols cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with O Come All Ye Faithful, Christians, Awake!, Noël Nouvelet, Rocking Carol and The Boar's Head Carol.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 48 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with The Wassail Song, Past Three O'Clock, A Virgin Unspotted, Jolly Old St. Nicholas and O Come All Ye Faithful; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Instead of reading the title, play or hum the first bars and let players identify the carol; In Dulci Jubilo and Jingle Bells are easy openers.

4. 4

   Call carols from the same country back to back, such as the French Il Est Né, Patapan and Noël Nouvelet, and see who spots the link first.

5. 5

   For a choir, sing one verse of each carol as it is called, so the bingo game doubles as a relaxed rehearsal of Deck the Halls or Patapan.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 14 (O Du Fröhliche in this set's order) and a blackout near call 43; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

• Quick 4x4 round

  A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 48 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 46.1 calls instead of 47.0.
