How to play Diwali bingo

  • Print one card per player and one call sheet for the caller.
  • Use small sweets, colored beads, or flower petals as markers.
  • The caller reads festival words and marks them on the call sheet.
  • First player with a row, column, or diagonal calls bingo.
  • Play blackout for a longer celebration game.

For the classroom

Diwali bingo is a respectful way to introduce students to festival vocabulary. The default list focuses on lights, food, family, and cultural symbols without religious instruction, making it suitable for a variety of classroom settings.

Printing tips

Print on bright paper or cardstock for a festive look. Laminating the cards lets students use dry-erase markers and play again next year.
