Free Printable New Year Bingo 2026 (PDF Game for Kids)

Waiting for the ball to drop? As any parent knows, keeping kids entertained until midnight (or even until a “fake” 8 PM countdown) can be a challenge. That is why we created this colorful and fun free printable New Year bingo game!

Whether you are hosting a family party or looking for a fun activity for the first day back at school, this Bingo pack is the perfect solution. It helps children develop listening skills and visual discrimination while having a blast.

What Is Included in This Bingo Pack?

We wanted to make this game accessible for everyone, so we designed it with cute, easily recognizable icons. You don’t need to be able to read to play!

Inside the PDF, you will find:

10 Unique Player Cards: So up to 10 children can play at once without everyone winning at the same time.
24 Calling Cards: Featuring festive icons like fireworks, party hats, clocks, balloons, and the year “2026”.
Markers (Optional): You can print our marker sheet, or use fun items like candy, buttons, or coins to mark the spots.

How to Play New Year Bingo

This game is “Low Prep”. Just print and play!

Print: Download the PDF below. We recommend printing on cardstock (heavier paper) so the cards last longer.
Cut: Cut out the “Calling Cards” and put them in a bowl or a hat. Give each player one “Bingo Board”.
Play:
- Designate a “Caller” (usually an adult or teacher).
- The Caller pulls a card from the bowl and shows the picture (e.g., “Who has the Party Hat?”).
- Players look at their boards. If they have that picture, they cover it with a marker.
Win: The first player to get 3 pictures in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) shouts “BINGO!” (or “HAPPY NEW YEAR!”).
