About Halloween Costumes bingo
A costume-spotting card with dozens of generic costume ideas, from job costumes (Astronaut, Firefighter, Chef) and animals (Bumblebee, Octopus, Shark) to classics like Sheet ghost, Mad scientist and Viking. It names no characters or brands, so it works anywhere: at a costume parade, on a trick-or-treat route or at a school dress-up day.
47 entries make up this Halloween Costumes set. With 24 per card, any single one, Dragon for example, appears on about 51% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 15 of them have it.
Play it like classic bingo: one person reads the 47 entries in the shuffled order of the caller sheet, everyone marks matching squares, and a full row, column or diagonal wins.

How to host Halloween Costumes bingo

Print the Halloween Costumes cards
Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Viking, Zombie, Hot dog, Scarecrow and Crayon.
-
Print the caller sheet
All 47 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Sheet ghost, Hot dog, Mermaid, Rock star and Viking; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Play it on the trick-or-treat walk: each child marks Pirate, Dinosaur or Hot dog when they spot that costume, and the first full line picks the next street.
-
Common sights like Witch, Superhero and Princess help balance rarer finds such as Pharaoh or Lumberjack, so use the 5x5 grid with a free center outdoors.
-
At a parade, ask the caller to read each square as a costume enters, so Robot or Mermaid gets a cheer and players mark in real time.
-
Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Bumblebee in this set's order) and a blackout near call 43; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
