Nativity BINGO: A Fun Way to Learn about Jesus’ Birth

November 11, 2017 By Anne 14 Comments

Each Advent I am looking for fun activities to do with the children.  I want some activities that teach something about our faith AND are fun because the kids’ attention spans decrease the closer we get to Christmas!  This Nativity BINGO is fun and the children learn while playing it.

And it is super easy for you.  Print the cards and call cards.  These are in color but they print well in black and white.  I print them in black and white because my parish does not have a color copier.

Nativity BINGO cards – set #1

Nativity BINGO cards – set #2

Nativity BINGO small call cards

Nativity BINGO large call cards

There are two choices for call cards:  small ones to cut apart (8 cards per sheet) and large ones (one per sheet).  I like to use the large ones in a classroom because the children can see what picture they are looking for on the BINGO card.

Find something to mark the BINGO cards with:  pieces of paper, Cheerios, buttons,…

And you are ready to have fun playing Nativity BINGO!

    Hi! I absolutely LOVE your nativity bingo esp. the “call cards.” However, when I print them, the background prints black. I tried printing other downloaded items and they are fine. Any suggestions? Thanks SO very much!

      I don’t know what could be causing that. My daughter suggested that you try downloading it again. Sorry I am not able to help you more.

    This is the perfect bingo set for Christmas in the church. I appreciate your unique calling cards. I too have trouble with the printing. The background on all cards is black – even if I dowload it as a pdf first.
    Do any other users have this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it?

    Thank you!

    We will use this bingo set at church! It is awesome. Thank you for making it available. I didn’t have any trouble printing the call cards but I only printed the small ones.

    Thank you for designing the Nativity Bingo set! It’s marvellous for kids! I found two sets of bingo cards. I assume they are different. How to use them?

    Thank you! These are just what I needed. Reminding children of the birth of Christ before the Easter story.
    They printed beautifully.
