How to host Santa's Workshop bingo

1. 1

   Print the Santa's Workshop cards

   Give each player one card; a free set prints up to 30, no two alike. Card 1 above starts with Route planning, Rocking chair, Northern lights, Letter sorting and Cocoa break.

2. 2

   Print the caller sheet

   All 46 entries appear on it in shuffled order, opening with Wrapping station, Gift tags, Northern lights, Map of the world and Rag dolls; tick each one as you read it out.

3. 3

   Let children choose a workshop job for each called square: if Paint pots is called, everyone mimes painting a toy before marking it.

4. 4

   Give each child a paper elf hat and call them Elf apprentice for the round; the winner gets to ring the Workshop bell for the next game.

5. 5

   Turn the Map of the world square into a geography moment by asking where a letter might come from, then mark Letter sorting together.

6. 6

   Call until someone shouts bingo

   With 30 cards, expect the first line near call 13 (Ribbon spools in this set's order) and a blackout near call 42; check the winner's squares against your ticked list.

Santa's Workshop bingo variations

• Santa's Workshop variation

  Toy factory relay: split the class into stations (Hammer, Paintbrush, Gift tags, Sleigh loading). Each call sends one team to act out its station; a completed line means a toy is ready to ship.

• Blackout round

  Card 1 needs all 24 squares, Route planning to Striped stockings; on average one card fills after 45.1 of the 46 calls (98% of the deck).

• 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.
