About Santa's Workshop bingo
A make-believe card set inside Santa's Workshop at the North Pole, where elves run a toy factory: the Workbench and Glue pot, the Conveyor belt and Quality check, the Mailroom full of Sacks of mail and the Big book of names. Pretend-play words like Test drive, Toy blueprints and Elf apprentice make it a favorite for preschool and early primary classes.
46 entries make up this Santa's Workshop set. With 24 per card, any single one, Elf apprentice for example, appears on about 52% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 16 of them have it.
The caller reads the 46 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.

When to play Santa's Workshop bingo
Christmas 2026 falls on Friday, December 25. At home or at a party, play on Friday, December 25 itself. For a classroom round, schools close from December 24, so the last Friday before the break, December 18, is the usual slot.
In 2027 it falls on Saturday, December 25. Printing 30 cards at one card per page takes 30 sheets plus the caller sheet, so print a few days ahead and keep the share link (seed "santas-workshop") to reprint the same set.

Print the Santa's Workshop cards

-
Print the caller sheet
All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Wrapping station, Gift tags, Northern lights, Map of the world and Rag dolls; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Let children choose a workshop job for each called square: if Paint pots is called, everyone mimes painting a toy before marking it.
-
Give each child a paper elf hat and call them Elf apprentice for the round; the winner gets to ring the Workshop bell for the next game.
-
Turn the Map of the world square into a geography moment by asking where a letter might come from, then mark Letter sorting together.
-
Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Ribbon spools in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
