Hanukkah themed bingo can be a fun game to play during family gatherings, or while teaching children about the Jewish festival. You can design and print your own Hanukkah themed bingo cards using clip art and blue or white paper, or you can customize and print free Hanukkah bingo cards from the website linked below. You can also print basic bingo cards and let children decorate them for Hanukkah using crayons, markers, glitter, stickers or ribbon.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Word processor or desktop publishing program
  • Printer
  • White or blue paper
  • Scissors
  • Clip art
  1. Step 1

    Set up a new document in a word processor or desktop publishing program. From the "File" menu, choose the "Page Setup" command or a similar command, to set the margins and paper orientation. If you want two bingo cards on each piece of paper, set the orientation to landscape and create two columns.

  2. Step 2

    Create a table with 6 rows and 5 columns on the page, using the "Insert Table" command in the "Table" menu. If you are using two columns, place a table in each column.

  3. Step 3

    Type the letters “BINGO” at the top of the table, or use the word “LIGHT” since Hanukkah is the festival of lights. Set the font to a size and style you like.

  4. Step 4

    Insert a Hanukkah themed clip art picture in each space of the table, or place clip art around the borders of the bingo card and type numbers in each space. For older children and adults, you can also use Hanukkah related words.

  5. Step 5

    Type the word “Free” in the center square of the table, or use a special symbol, such as a menorah or dreidel, for the free space.

  6. Step 6

    Save the bingo card and print it out on blue or white paper. If you used two columns, cut the paper in half to make two bingo cards.

  7. Step 7

    Click "Save" to make another bingo card. Use different pictures, numbers or words for this card, or put them in a different order. Save and print this card.

  8. Step 8

    Repeat Step 7 until you have enough Hanukkah bingo cards for all the players.

  9. Step 9

    Make a new document with all the pictures, numbers or words on it. Then print the page and cut apart the symbols to make calling cards you can randomly pick during the game.

Tips & Warnings
  • You may want to give chocolates or “gelt” (coins) as prizes for the bingo game.
