About Winter bingo for kids
A simple winter card for young children with short, concrete words: clothes for the cold (Woolly hat, Mittens, Snow pants), snow play (Sled, Snowball, Igloo) and winter animals such as the Penguin, Walrus, Arctic fox, Snowy owl and Moose. Most squares have a picture, so preschoolers and early readers can play side by side in class or at home.
45 entries make up this Winter set. With 24 per card, any single one, Earmuffs for example, appears on about 53% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 16 of them have it.
A host reads out one entry at a time from the printed caller sheet (all 45 of them, shuffled); players daub the square if their card has it and call bingo on a full line.

Print the Winter cards
Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Mittens, Rabbit, Cold wind, Squirrel and Slippers.
-
Print the caller sheet
All 45 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Bear, Snowy owl, Snow, Walrus and Snow pants; tick each one as you read it out.
-
Dress up while you play: when a clothing square like Boots or Scarf is called, children put on or point to the real item before marking.
-
Use the animal squares for a quick science chat: which ones Hibernate, like the Bear, and which stay active, like the Squirrel?
-
With pre-readers, show the picture and say the word together; Snowy owl and Arctic fox are good chances to talk about white winter fur.
-
Call until someone shouts bingo
With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Moose in this set's order) and a blackout near call 41; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.
Winter bingo for kids variations
-
Winter variation
Winter walk bingo: take the card outside and mark only what children actually see, such as Tracks, a Pinecone or a Bird. Indoor squares wait until everyone is back with Cocoa.
