Christmas in July bingo at a glance

How long Christmas in July bingo lasts

This list was simulated 150 times in random call orders on its first 60 cards. A room of 30 usually has a line by call 12, which is about 2 minutes at 10 seconds a call, and a full card by call 37 of 40.

How to host Christmas in July bingo

1. 1

   Print the Christmas in July cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Christmas carols, Holiday playlist, Mid-year gift, Snowflake garland and Flip-flop Santa.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 40 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Sunscreen stocking, Twinkle lights, Paper snowflakes, Advent in summer and Tinsel; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Host it as a pool or patio party and pair the calls with props: a 'Pool float sled' race and a 'Reindeer sunglasses' photo make the card feel like an event.

4. 4

   Explain 'Winter in July': in Australia, New Zealand and other southern countries, July is midwinter, so some people hold a cold-weather Christmas dinner then.

5. 5

   Make 'Toy drive' the final call and ask every winner to bring a toy or donation for a local collection instead of taking a prize.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 12 (Tropical tree in this set's order) and a blackout near call 37; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Christmas in July bingo variations

  Holiday swap: each player brings a small wrapped summer item, and whenever someone completes a line they choose a gift or steal one already opened, keeping the game going until all gifts are gone.

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, Christmas carols to Santa in shorts; on average one card fills after 39.4 of the 40 calls (98% of the deck).

• Quick 4x4 round

  A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 40 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 38.6 calls instead of 39.4.
