The PDF has 14 pages: how to play with a caller’s checklist, a page of calling slips to cut apart, and 12 bingo cards, one per page.

How to play Halloween bingo

  1. Print the cards, one for each player. Card stock lasts longer.
  2. Hand out markers: candy corn, dried beans, pennies or bingo daubers.
  3. Call the words. Pull a calling slip from a bowl (or a plastic pumpkin), or use the online caller below. Check off each word on the caller’s list.
  4. Cover the word if it is on your card. The owl in the middle is free.
  5. Five in a row wins! Across, down or corner to corner. Then check the card against the caller’s list.

Want a longer game? Play “four corners” or “blackout,” where you must cover the whole card.

Questions people ask

How do you play Halloween bingo?

Give each player a card and some markers, like candy corn, dried beans or pennies. The caller reads one Halloween word at a time. Players cover that word if it is on their card. The first player with five in a row, across, down or corner to corner, calls out "Bingo!" The owl square in the middle is free.

How many bingo cards are there?

There are 12 different cards, so up to 12 people can play at once. Every card has a different mix of words, and no two cards share a winning row, so ties are rare. For a bigger group, print two sets and play in teams.

Are the bingo cards large print?

Yes. Each card fills a whole page, with big, bold words in large squares that are easy to see and easy to cover.

Do I need a bingo caller?

You can use the cut-out calling slips in the PDF: put them in a bowl or a pumpkin and pull one at a time. Or use the free online caller on this page on a big screen.

Is Halloween bingo too scary for seniors?

No. The words are friendly fall and Halloween favorites, like pumpkin, hayride, caramel apple and Monster Mash. Nothing gory.

Can I print these for my senior center or library?

Yes. They are free to print and copy for non-commercial use at senior centers, libraries, churches, care homes and family parties.
