About Holiday Lights bingo

A card for decorating with lights and for the classic evening drive to see them. It names bulb and strand types like C9 bulbs, Net lights, Rope lights and Warm white, setup squares like Gutter clips, the Outdoor outlet and the Spare fuse, and show-stopper displays: a Lit tunnel, Synced to music light shows and the Brightest house on the street.

On a 5x5 card with a free center, Holiday Lights bingo shows 24 of the 46 entries, so each one lands on about 52% of the cards: in a set of 30, String lights or LED bulbs appears on roughly 16 cards. Card 1 leaves out 22 of them, including String lights, Icicle lights and Projector lights, so no single card can mark everything.

The caller reads the 46 entries from a shuffled caller sheet and players mark them; the first complete line (row, column or diagonal) wins.

How to host Holiday Lights bingo

  1. Print the Holiday Lights cards

    Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Timer switch, LED bulbs, Inflatable snowman, Synced to music and Cool white.

  2. Print the caller sheet

    All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Tree wrapped in lights, Spare fuse, Rooftop Santa, Radio station show and C9 bulbs; tick each one as you read it out.

  3. Play from the back seat on a light tour: kids mark Inflatable snowman or Rooftop Santa as they see them, while the driver keeps their eyes on the road.

  4. When a display is Synced to music, park and tune in to the Radio station show before marking, so everyone enjoys it together.

  5. Use the setup squares as a decorating checklist; Tangled strand and Burnt-out bulb are almost guaranteed marks on the first evening.

  6. Call until someone shouts bingo

    With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 14 (Lit archway in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Holiday Lights bingo variations

  • Holiday Lights variation

    Light hunt points: plain sightings like String lights mark one square, while rarer finds like Lit archway or Luminarias let the player mark one extra free square of their choice.

  • Quick 4x4 round

    A 4x4 card needs 16 of the 46 entries and no free space; one card is full after about 44.2 calls instead of 45.1.
