Free Printable Holidays Around the World Bingo Cards
December and early January bring festivals of light, feasts and gift-giving to nearly every part of the world, and this card supports a classroom unit on them. The teacher calls a holiday or tradition, names the country it comes from, and students cover the square, so a single round travels from Sweden to Mexico to the Philippines.
How to play holidays around the world bingo
- Set the number of players, then press Print or save as PDF. Each player gets a different card.
- Call items in random order with the built-in caller, or use the printed call list.
- Players mark each called square. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"
Tip: Once students know the unit, call by clue: "a girl wears a crown of candles on December 13" for St. Lucia Day, or "nine nights of processions in Mexico" for Las Posadas. Ask families to share a tradition from home and add it to the word list.

Questions and answers
Are the bingo cards really free?
Yes. You can print up to 10 unique cards per game at no cost, as often as you like, without creating an account. The optional Unlimited Pass is for larger groups.
How do I save the cards as a PDF?
Press "Print or save as PDF". In the print window choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. On a phone, use the share or print option in the preview that opens.
Is every card different?
Yes. Each card is shuffled separately from your list, so players cannot all win at the same time. The more items your list has beyond the number of squares, the more the cards differ.
Can I use my own words?
Yes. Replace the list with your own words or phrases, one per line. A 5×5 card with a free space needs at least 24 items, a 4×4 card needs 16 and a 3×3 card needs 8.
What paper should I use?
Normal printer paper works. Card stock lasts longer if you plan to reuse the cards. The layout fits both US Letter and A4.
