GATHERING GAME

Gift Exchange Bingo

Mark moments on your card as gifts are opened. Get three in a row—across, down, or diagonally—and call bingo!

Your Card

Tap a square when that moment happens. Tap it again to clear the mark.

Print Cards for Your Group

Each person gets a different combination of moments. Hand out the cards before gifts are exchanged.

Two cards fit on each A4 sheet. You can save a PDF from the print dialog. Printed cards are generated separately from the card on screen.

Decide ahead of time whether there will be a prize. Keep the game optional and make sure it doesn’t take attention away from the gifts.

How to Play on Your Phone or on Paper

What to Agree on Before You Start

Decide whether you’ll stop at the first bingo or keep playing until all gifts are opened. Don’t try to make moments happen just to mark them—the card is a way to notice the celebration. Your current digital card and marks are saved in this browser.

How to Play Gift Exchange Bingo

During the gathering, mark only moments from the card that actually happen. Before you start, agree on what counts as a win. Bingo adds to the celebration; it doesn’t assign gifts.
