How to Play Thanksgiving Bingo
It’s simple — and that’s exactly what you’ll need when the house smells like turkey and the Wi-Fi’s acting up.
- Print your free cards. We’ve made six unique versions, but if your Thanksgiving crew rivals the size of a small army, just print extras and let the chaos double!
- Grab a pen. (yes, a crayon counts).
- Play all day. And the family dynamics begin.
- Mark your squares! When you spot a moment that matches your square, mark it off!
- No cheating. You can’t make something happen just to win. It only counts if it happens naturally (yes, that means you can’t purposely say “pass the gravy” for a square).
- First one to get five in a row yells “BINGO!” and earns bragging rights until dessert.
What’s in the cards
Each square is a moment every family knows too well:
- Someone drops a fork and yells “Five-second rule!”
- A kid eats only rolls and pie.
- “Not to get political, but…” (you knew it was coming)
- “Back in my day…” makes its annual appearance.
- The cranberry sauce is still in the shape of the can.
Why you’ll love it
Thanksgiving Bingo is one of those rare games that works for everyone at the table — from toddlers to grandparents, even your teen who swore they “weren’t playing.”
It’s:
✅ Funny and relatable. Because every square hits a little too close to home.
✅ Stress-free. No setup, no complicated rules, no refereeing.
✅ The perfect icebreaker. Especially when the gravy’s lumpy and the conversation’s getting weird.
