Halloween Bingo Printable Games
Ever since my family started playing Christmas bingo on Christmas Eve, I’ve been a little bingo obsessed.
My kids love bingo too but one thing I’ve noticed is that often times younger kids get bored by the time everyone gets a chance to bingo, so I not only made a standard Halloween bingo game with a 5×5 grid, I also made a 4×4 monster bingo game that’s great for those kids who don’t want to wait so long!
The full size printable Halloween bingo game is good for any age, not just young kids – they’re perfect from preschoolers to seniors! There’s a reason Halloween bingo is one of the most popular Halloween party games out there!
Combine them with a little Halloween i-spy, free printable Halloween word search, these Halloween coloring pages, and this Halloween truth or scare game for the ultimate Halloween celebration before digging into the bags full of Halloween candy! It’s everything you need for your next Halloween party!
Supplies
You really don’t need much to play this Halloween bingo game, just:
- Bingo cards – download the unique cards at the bottom of this post. There are 20 unique cards for each of the games.
- Bingo calling sheet – calling cards are included in the download at the end of the post
- Bingo markers – I like these bingo markers or if you want to go Halloween specific candy, erasers, or even just circles would work great.
- Laminating pouches (optional) – if you want to laminate the cards (like to make a classroom set) to play year after year
- Prizes – I’ve got a handful of prize options listed in this post or you can use any of these Halloween prizes.
How to Print Halloween Bingo Cards
Before you actually start playing, you need to get your game all setup and ready to go. Start by downloading the 20 Halloween bingo cards at the bottom of this post. Just fill out the pink form and they’ll be emailed right to you!
Print and cut out each of the Halloween bingo cards. I recommend printing on white card stock then laminating to use them year after year! You can still use markers or use dry erase markers instead!
Print out two copies of the calling sheet. Cut out the images on one of the copies of the calling sheet, leave the other one intact to use as the actual calling sheet! Put the cut out calling images in a bowl or bag with the full calling sheet next to them.
Have everyone pick a bingo board or hand them out randomly. Everyone should have different cards so people don’t bingo at the same time (or at least not because they have the same card).
Give everyone at least 25 markers, more if you are doing something like candy with young children where they may “accidentally” get eaten.
Then you’re all ready to play!
How to play Halloween Bingo
Bingo is one of those games that most people know how to play, but I like to include instructions just for the off chance someone doesn’t know how.
Plus, my family does some crazy bingo options that I think are fun, so I’m including those below as well!
First, everyone should cover the free space on their bingo board with a marker. It’s a good idea to make sure everyone knows this in case they’ve played different rules in the past!
Pull an image out of the bag/bowl and announce and show it to everyone playing. Anyone who has that image on their card should use a marker to cover the card.
Put that image on the printed out calling sheet so you can keep track of what’s been called! I highly recommend keeping the calling sheet somewhere out of walking paths or little hand paths so you don’t end up with the calling pieces all over.
Keep pulling images out of the card until someone gets a bingo – five in a row (or four if you’re using the monster cards) vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Once they call bingo, check to see if those images have actually been called and declare them a winner.
From there you can either have people remove all of the markers from their cards and start over or play for a couple of winners each game.
Other Ways to Play Halloween Bingo
One of the things my family does that I think is fun is to have alternate bingo options so that it’s not always just five in a row.
If you want to switch things up, make sure that everyone knows before you start playing the game what a bingo will be for that particular game. Feel free to change it every game to keep things interesting – just make sure everyone knows what you’re playing.
These are some of the bingo types we’ve played in the past to try! Some of the best ideas were things that people made up on the fly so feel free to let the caller get creative too!
- Biggest Loser – the last person to put a bingo marker on the board wins in addition to whoever actually gets a bingo
- Four corners – first person to cover all four of their card’s corners
- Postage stamp – first person to cover four images all together on their card
- Cross – first person to cover all of the images down the middle of the card, both horizontally and vertically, making a cross.
- X – first person to cover all of the spaces diagonally both ways to make an X on their card
- Top or bottom – first person to cover either the full top or full bottom row of their card.
Halloween Bingo Prize Ideas
Bingo is one of those games that the prizes depend on how many rounds you’re going to play and how many winners there will be. If you’re playing in a classroom or with family and are going to have tons of winners, keep the prizes small.
If you’re playing at a fall party, Halloween carnival, or even virtually just with friends and only going to have a few winners – make the prizes more impressive like gift cards and some of the other larger ticket items on this prize list.
Here are a few ideas to get you started, all things that I personally would love to win!
- Halloween boo bucket filled with treats and prizes
- Halloween candle (or something else similarly festive)
- Halloween treats like a Halloween dirt cake, apple pie caramel apples, or Halloween rice krispy treats tied up with one of these Halloween gift tags!
- Orange gift card or a black one would work too
- Halloween party snacks – any of these would make a great prize when individually packaged with one of these fun Halloween gift tags!

Bingo Tips
Just a few tips from someone whose played hundreds of bingo games over the years! These can make or break a game!
- Move quickly so that the games go quickly, and it also helps force people to pay attention and not get distracted.
- If you’re playing with little kids, make sure everyone wins at least once even if it’s just a consolation prize type game!
- Have enough cards that there are a few extras in case people want to switch up their cards for better luck!
- Provide extra markers if you’re doing edible markers like cereal or candy. They will get eaten, I promise!
