Playing Bingo at holiday parties has become a fun tradition for our family, and I had a lot of fun putting this Thanksgiving Bingo set together. With the game being mainly images, it's easy for kids of all ages to play. This would be a fun way to pass the time while the family is waiting for Thanksgiving dinner to be ready!
Just like my Halloween Bingo, I'm sure this version will be a hit to play at a school Thanksgiving party. Since my daughter isn't in school, we've been having a wonderful time playing as a homeschool activity. It has been a great way to learn new Thanksgiving-themed vocabulary and practice matching.

I've gotten a lot of requests to make more than 8 Bingo cards for larger groups that will be playing Bingo. To help solve this problem without having to create a whole bunch of card designs, I've put together a version that will make it easy for everyone to customize their own Bingo card.
Print out the DIY Thanksgiving Bingo Set, which comes with a blank card (with the "free" space already added), all 24 Bingo pieces, and the calling cards. Print out the cards on cardstock, and the Bingo pieces on cardstock or regular copy paper.
Cut the Bingo pieces by following the lines. Glue the pieces wherever you want on the card with glue stick or Elmer's until all the spaces (except the "free" space) are covered. This would be a fun activity for older kids to do all on their own. Younger children will need some assistance with the cutting, but my daughter had no problem gluing all the pieces down.

Game Instructions
1. Pick some kind of object to mark your squares: candy corn, beans, M&Ms, smarties, wrapped candy, cereal, or any other small items work great!
2. Give each player a Bingo card and markers (or put your own together with the DIY set). Have each player put a marker over the free space.
3. The caller will draw a calling piece and announce the item on the card. Each player will cover that item on their card with a marker. Once a player has 5 squares covered in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), they call out "BINGO!" and win the game!

Download Instructions:
On the top left under "File", click the "Download" option. A pop-up window should appear. Make sure the "Save File" option is selected, then click OK to download.
To lengthen the life of the prints, I would recommend printing the Bingo cards and calling pieces on cardstock and laminating. All files are 8.5x11 inches and put together in a single PDF format.
Have fun!! Would love to hear from you if you play using my printable!
