Free Housewarming Bingo Cards

A natural fit for house tours

Most housewarming parties include an informal tour of the new home, and bingo gives that tour a bit of structure. Guests mark off squares as they walk through the kitchen, backyard, and guest bedroom, which keeps everyone engaged room by room.

It also works well as a mingling activity before the tour starts, since new neighbors and out-of-town relatives can compare cards while they wait for the host to be ready.

Ways to personalize the cards

• Add specific features of the new home, like a fireplace or a finished basement.
• Include the wall color or design choices the homeowners are proud of.
• List moving-day stories, like a broken lamp or a mislabeled box.
• Add renovation plans the homeowners have shared for the future.
• Include neighborhood details, like a favorite nearby coffee shop.

Tips for hosting

Set out cards near the entryway so guests can grab one as they arrive, and mention the game briefly before the tour begins so everyone knows to keep an eye out. A small prize, like a candle or a bottle of wine, works well for the winner.

If the party is large, consider running two shorter tours instead of one long one so every group gets a chance to fill in their card without crowding each room.
