New Year’s Eve is just around the corner so it’s time to start pulling together some kids’ activities for the big countdown.

This New Year’s Eve Bingo game is easy to prep and fun to play. It’s the perfect complement to our free New Year’s Eve countdown sheet!

Getting Ready

To prep, I printed a copy of the New Year’s Bingo boards (below) and calling cards on cardstock to give them extra durability and make the bright colors really pop. I included 6 boards for you to pick from so the activity would be ready to use for a New Year’s Eve party or classroom center.

After cutting apart the cards, I grabbed 9 glass stones for each player. (Coins, candy or beans make great cover up counters too.)

I shuffled the calling cards and placed them in a pile face down on the table. Then I invited my kids over to join me.

New Year’s Eve Bingo

To play, the caller flipped over the top card and read it out loud: “Party hat”.

Then our players looked at their boards, found the matching picture party hat picture, and covered it up with a glass stone.

One word after the next, players filled their board with tokens.

The first player to cover three pictures in a row was the winner. The kids happily cleared the boards and started playing again.
