Ways to play
Blackout finale
End with a coverall round where every square must be marked. It's the longest round, so give it the best prize.
Team play
Pair players or tables and let them share one card. It helps younger or shy players join in.
Two lines
Players need two complete lines instead of one, which stretches a round without making it a full blackout.
Four corners
Players win by marking the four corner squares, which makes a quick opening round.

Printing and setup
Print two cards per page on white or colored cardstock. Holiday games often have mixed ages, so print a few 3x3 cards for little ones and 5x5 cards for everyone else. Put the calling list in a festive bowl as slips of paper, or use our free bingo caller on a phone.
