How to play Hanukkah bingo

  • Print one card per player and one call sheet for whoever is calling.
  • Hand out markers such as chocolate gelt coins or blue and white buttons.
  • The caller reads words in random order and crosses them off the sheet.
  • The first player to complete a row, column, or diagonal calls bingo and wins.
  • For a longer session, play four corners or a full blackout card.

Teaching the story alongside the game

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the small jar of oil that miraculously burned for eight nights instead of one. The word list includes figures and terms like the Maccabees, Judah Maccabee, and Antiochus, so the game can spark conversation about the holiday's history between rounds.

For younger children, focus on the everyday symbols: the menorah, dreidel, and latkes are easy to recognize and talk about, while older students can connect the words to the fuller story.

Make it your own

Families can swap in the names of relatives who host each night's candle lighting, favorite side dishes, or a beloved dreidel game tradition. Religious school teachers can trim the list to vocabulary the class is currently studying, such as Hebrew letters on the dreidel or specific blessings.

Printing tips

Print on plain paper for a single game night, or use cardstock and page protectors with dry-erase markers to reuse the same set across all eight nights of Hanukkah.

Frequently asked questions

What is on the Hanukkah bingo cards?

Each card pulls from 75 words tied to the Festival of Lights, including Menorah, Dreidel, Latkes, Gelt, and Miracle. Every card shares the same word list arranged in a different order, so no two boards match.

Is this respectful for a religious school or synagogue event?

The word list focuses on traditional symbols, foods, prayers, and history, such as the Maccabees and the miracle of the oil, so it works well for Hebrew school classes, synagogue youth groups, and family celebrations.

Can I customize the word list?

Yes. You can add or remove words to match your family's traditions, your congregation's customs, or the age of the players, and the cards will regenerate instantly.

What can we use as markers?

Chocolate gelt coins are a natural fit and double as a snack when the game ends. Blue and white buttons, dried beans, or pennies also work well.

Are the Hanukkah bingo cards free to print?

Yes. The cards, call sheet, and PDF download are free for home, classroom, and community use, with no watermark and no sign-up required.
