Nativity Bingo Free

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.

Printable Christmas Nativity Play Scripts for Church. Christmas play scripts vary depending on the age of the cast. To simplify your Christmas production, these two original nativity plays include a script, set and costume instructions, stage movement and lighting directions, and song recommendations. Christmas bingo is a fun and classic winter holiday party game or activity. Find all kinds of free Christmas bingo printables fit for all ages, from toddlers, preschool kids, young children, teens, adults, family, church, or large groups. The Immaculate Conception refers to the condition that the Blessed Virgin Mary was free from Original Sin from the very moment of her conception in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne. We celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary—her birth—on September 8; nine months before that is December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

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.

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!

Are you all ready for Thanksgiving break? I love working while my kids sleep. Should I let them keep sleeping and enjoy the quiet? I should probably wake them up so that they can have a productive day, too, right? Such a tough decision! I'm hurrying to get this adorable Nativity Bingo game up for you before I take a little Thanksgiving blog break.

Ever since I posted Christmas Bingo, I've been wanting to create a game that was about the real meaning of Christmas. (And my readers have been asking for it, too!) Nativity Bingo will never be allowed in a school classroom, but families can enjoy it. Spending so much time and energy on Santa Claus, magic Elves and finding the perfect Christmas gifts leaves us little time for rest. It's nice to sit back and think about the real meaning of Christmas, too.

Who says Christmas games should only focus on Santa Claus and snowmen? Play Nativity Bingo after teaching the kids the Christmas story. It's a good way to remember the story and have a little bit of fun. I even used a game board with the children at church the other day as we learned a Christmas song (Picture a Christmas).

So, for all those people who have been asking for a Nativity Bingo game (and for those who haven't been asking but still want it), it's finally here! Click the link below to download a family set (6 bingo boards, 2 pages of calling cards, and 1 instruction page) of Nativity Bingo.

If you would like a higher-resolution game with more unique boards, you can purchase the full game in my Etsy store. Click the download link below to see and download the full Nativity Bingo game.

How to Play

This game is a little different than traditional bingo, so check out the instructions before you play (also included with the download):

Cut the two pages of calling cards into individual cards and put them into a bag or hat. To play, pull a card out of the hat, and call out what is on the card (or just show the card). Players look for that picture on their card and cover it up. Continue pulling cards from the bag one at a time until someone gets five in a row. (You cannot play blackout because every card has every picture on it. This game is meant to be played for traditional five-in-a-row bingo only.)

The adorable graphics in this game were mostly created by The Happy Graphics with a few created by me.

Speaking of nativities, I have to show you my absolute favorite nativity set. (I'm still waiting for some store to have a going-out-of-business sale so I can sweep in and buy the whole set for cheap!) *Affiliate links.

I don't think I'll ever own the whole set, but a girl can dream, can't she? Isn't it beautiful? What's your favorite nativity set?
