 Written By: Bec What is find the guest bingo? Put simply, it's a fun game that reveals interesting facts about fellow party people, whilst simultaneously getting those competitive juices flowing (the desire to win can make for some hilarious encounters!). And this isn't even the best bit. What I love MOST about this game is the fact that it gets everyone mingling right from the start, making it a great icebreaker game for any occasion.

Pre-Made Game Cards
Playing Find the Guest Bingo
Hand each guest a playing card and pen or pencil. Explain that the aim of the game is to try and find the person who matches each statement. And yes, this means mingling, chatting, and getting to know one another from the get-go!
Once you've found someone who matches a statement, write their name in the box. The twist? You can only use each person's name ONCE. So, choose carefully!
First to match 5 names with statements in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal), wins. But only if they yell BINGO!

Alternative Ways to Play
Personalise the Game
There is potential to make this a really meaningful and interactive activity. Rather than using 'stock standard' statements for each square, ask guests to email you a fact that is personal to them. Do they have a weird piercing? A unique job title? Perhaps a fun travel experience?
Include one fact per guest. At the end of the game, ask everyone to share the story behind their particular fact - giving the group further time to bond!
Photo Scavenger Hunt
Rather than writing down a person's name when they find a match, players snap a photo! For example, 'take a selfie with someone wearing pink', 'get an action shot of someone busting a move'. The first to prove they have five 'snaps' in a row, wins.
The Classic Game of 'Find the Guest'
Rather than creating a bingo card template, write each fact out 'list style' (as pictured below). As with the bingo version, players are on a mission to find the partygoer who matches each statement. Only this time they aim to find as many matches as possible. Award one point per answer, with the person scoring highest being the winner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need 1 different BINGO card for each guest or the same card for each guest?
The beauty of this game is that you can play either way, it works no matter what!
Using ONE card for everyone means players are working from the same prompts, so it's a bit less competitive. Guests will still need to mingle and talk to others to mark off their squares, but since everyone is looking for the same answers, it can lead to fun group chats (and when someone finds a match others may jump in with their own stories, too, creating even more conversation between new friends!).
If you're after a more competitive game, MULTIPLE unique cards are a great choice. With this option, guests can't rely on others' answers and will have to talk to a wider range of people if they want to get BINGO first.
Both approaches are fun and will help partygoers get to know one another - it just depends on the vibe you're after. So, go with the option that best suits your group/celebration!

Have THE Best Time Playing Your BINGO Games!
Getting a group of people to mingle can be a difficult task (especially when they don't know each other that well... or at all). BUT with 'Find the Guest Bingo' at the ready, you'll have no problem doing just that! A whole lot of fun, this is the perfect game for birthdays, bridal events, Christmas, Halloween, staff parties, or any other event that needs a little icebreaker activity.

Happy mingling!

Whether it be Christmas in July, a gathering in December, or even a work breakup party, you can have heaps of fun with this festive theme. And a bonus? You already have all of the decorations, cookie cutters, etc. from Christmas' gone by - meaning it's the perfect opportunity to host an event on a budget (without compromising on style)!

Ready to plan the most merry party of the year? See the inspiration below.
STEP ONE
Pick a Theme
Characters of Christmas
This option has one simple request – your outfit MUST be a character of Christmas. Prepare for elves, scrooge, Santa, reindeer, Mrs. Clause, presents, Christmas trees, Candy canes, and everything in-between!
Colour Block Christmas
After a simple Christmas party theme? Ask that all guests arrive wearing a colour associated with the festive season (such as red or green).
Funny Slogans
Add a bit of fun to the costume department by requesting that funny Christmas slogans are somehow included in each outfit. This could be anything from a T-shirt with embroidered words 'I'm dreaming of a wine Christmas' to a dress with paper sticky taped to the front (displaying a hilarious slogan for all to see). Let guests get creative with this one, you'll be surprised (and impressed) with what people come up with!
Christmas in July/Winter Wonderland
This theme is all about guests wearing their favourite wintery gear. And with such a vague description, you can expect people to come decked out in anything from their warmest party outfits to hilariously ugly Christmas sweaters. Pair with activities such as a hot cocoa bar for extra wintery feels.
PJ Party
When Christmas rolls around, there are always some fun, cute or downright weird festive PJs to choose from... and not just in the kids section! So why not host the most comfortable event around and encourage party-goers to arrive in their favourite Christmassy pyjamas (slippers and dressing gowns also encouraged)? Onesies, nighties, shorts & singlets, funny slogans, terrible slogans – you really can’t go wrong. And the best part? Guests can keep their cosy outfits for years to come; being reminded of that epic party every time they don their Christmas sleepwear.
Santa Hats
Another low-key option is that of Santa hats. These will bring your group together whilst still allowing guests to choose an outfit they'd actually like to wear. Pair with the colour-block theme idea mentioned above if you'd like everyone to be a bit more 'matchy-matchy'.
Ugly Sweaters
And who can go past the good old 'ugly sweater' (or 'creative Christmas sweater') option?! This will not only be funny for guests when choosing their outfit but will also guarantee plenty of laughs on the actual night.

JUST FOR THE ADULTS:
A Very Sexy Christmas
After an outrageous party theme? Why not host a 'very sexy Christmas'? At this party, anything goes - from red bathers and Christmas themed lingerie to mini dresses in the theme of Mrs. Clause/elves, it's all about being daring and cheeky! Pair with some activities that would only ever be found on Santa's 'naughty list' and you're good to go.
Ho Ho Ho Down
It might be Christmas time, but that certainly doesn’t mean you have to stick to the theme completely. Bring out your inner country-side by donning some flannies, denim, boots and wide-brimmed hats. You can also add a touch of festive fun to your outfits with Santa hats, Christmas themed earrings or even tinsel inspired accessories if you wish.

STEP TWO
Delight Guests with Christmas Inspired Food
Love a good Christmas lunch/dinner? Why not treat party-goers to a delicious, festive feast! You could either prepare this yourself, organise a pot luck lunch or dinner (where each guest brings a plate), or get the professionals in so that you can all sit back, relax and enjoy the meal (without any stress).
Prefer a ‘snack-on-the-go’ option? Perhaps you could bring the fun to your food table with cute, funny or distasteful labels instead? For instance, a ‘Treats for Santa’ sign could be placed next to a cart that serves milk and cookies (or, if you’d prefer, cocktails with a milky appearance). You could also use labels such as ‘Reindeer Poop’ (chocolate bits), ‘Christmas Cupcakes’, ‘Reindeer Noses’ (bowl of malteasers with one red jaffa for Rudolph) or ‘Baubles’/’Mini Baubles’ (anything round and colourful – such as M&Ms).
Alternatively, serve up some Christmas party food that looks festive! For example, cutting the bottom of a strawberry off and putting a dollop of white chocolate on the tip – instant ‘Santa Hat’. Cookies shaped like Christmas characters are also a win, as are Christmas puddings, biscuits stacked to look like Christmas trees, Pavlovas (for an Aussie Christmas), candy canes, snowman pancakes and watermelon cut to look like Christmas trees.

STEP THREE
Add Some Festive Drinks
A few simple touches will make your drink table feel magical.
One cute idea for the kids is a 'Snowman Milkshake Station'. That is, vanilla shakes topped with whipped cream, chocolate buttons, and a tiny candy carrot 'nose'. Adorable, easy and a surefire way to get the littlest guests into the holiday spirit!
A hot cocoa bar is another great option (for kids and adults alike!). Set out a selection of marshmallows, candy canes, crushed peppermint, sprinkles and chocolate shavings so that everyone can build their own festive mug of goodness.
For the grown-ups, make things fun by serving colourful beverages. If you're hosting a 'red and green' themed party, for example, serve drinks to match. Cosmopolitans and Grasshopper cocktails would be ideal for this, as would jelly shots made from green or red jelly (bonus points if you display the shots like a Christmas tree!).
Alternatively, you may like to stick to classic favourites such as eggnog, mulled wine, Christmas punch, or boozy hot chocolate.
And finally, don't forget the labels! Place a few 'punny' signs across the table (think 'Naughty Nectar, 'Jolly Juice' or 'Let's Get Elfed Up!') for instant festive fun... and a good laugh!

STEP FOUR
Decorate for the Holidays
The beauty of this theme is that EVERYONE has Christmas decorations stashed away in the cupboard, just WAITING to make their appearance at that magical time of year. So rather than purchasing decor for the celebration, see what you (and friends/family) have in storage that can bring your theme together. From Christmas trees and fairy lights to festive table runners, you'll have an absolute ball 'decking the halls'.
For those who want to keep it in a particular colour scheme, the above still applies. Simply check your cupboards (and ask around) for decorations that suit the look you're going for. Some inspiration includes 'Green and Red Christmas', 'Rustic Christmas', 'Red and White Christmas', and 'Christmas Lights'.

Play Some Festive Games
Below are our top 5 best-selling Christmas party games. To view our entire festive range, click here.
Other Game Ideas
Best Dressed Competition
Encourage everyone to arrive in fun outfits by hosting a competition. Play Christmas carols whilst they all strut around the room. Everyone can vote for their favourite costume, with the winner be awarded a special prize! Want the fun to continue? Rather than just having a 'best dressed' category, add some alternative prizes as well. Think 'most creative outfit', 'weirdest getup', 'funniest costume', and so on.
Dress Santa
You may have played (or heard of) the bridal shower game 'DIY Wedding Dress'; in which teams use toilet paper to create their own designer wedding gowns. In a similar fashion, 'Dress Santa' involves small groups (of 3-4 people) turning one of their team members (i.e. the 'model') into Santa! The suit, the beard, the hat, the shoes... all within a time limit - the results will be hilarious.
How Many Ornaments?
Make sure you keep count of those ornaments whilst decorating the tree! Guests can then make educated guesses as to how many there are, with the person who guesses closest being the winner. Simple, fun AND pretty to look at, this game is perfect if you're after low-key activities that guests can participate in if/when they wish.
Siamese Gift Wrapping Game
The aim of the game is for guests to wrap a present as fast as they can. Sounds simple, right? Well... the catch is that they must do so in pairs. And each person is only allowed to use ONE hand!
Tip: Use cereal boxes, tissue boxes, etc. as 'presents' and old newspapers as 'wrapping paper'.

STEP SIX
Sprinkle in Some Christmas Activities
Torn Paper Craft
Featuring Christmas shapes ready to be decorated, these adorable activities are sure to be a hit at your event! Perfect for craft corners, kids can tear, cut and glue colourful pieces of paper to create their festive pictures/cards. Hands-on, screen-free fun that ends with a beautiful piece of take-home art!
Other Activity Ideas
Crafty Christmas
Pull out your scrap paper, paint, pencils, pens and more - it's time for a craft off. Set everything on a table and let guests go to town creating their very own 'Christmas Cards'.
But... it's not ALL about looks. Oh no, it's much more than that.
As you know, Christmas cards are famous for the messages they hold inside. Which means individuals/teams have to think about spreading festive cheer with words as well. The person or team with the most creative, unique, hilarious or even sweetest card and message combo wins.
Other ways to bring the creative juices to your event include decorating baubles, making stockings, personalising Santa hats, making ugly sweaters and more!
Christmas Carol-oke
Get those vocal cords working overtime by belting out your favourite Christmas carol classics. With songs ranging from 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' to 'Santa Clause is Comin' to Town', you're guaranteed to get your monies worth with these epic performances!
Gingerbread House Contest
Who made it best? Or, turn the tables, who made it worst?! Bring out your creative side with this fun activity, whereby guests can not only make their very own masterpiece, but they can also eat it! Ask everyone to vote for their favourites, with the most votes being awarded as the winner. You may also like to give a prize to the most hilarious attempt.

STEP SEVEN
Spread Joy with Small Gifts
If you're after a party favour or prize that ties in with the Christmas theme, think along the lines of baubles and other tree decorations, festive mugs, mini Christmas puddings, mini pavlovas, candy canes, Christmas cookie cutter sets (plus cookies!), festive candles, tiny (real) Christmas trees, holiday cupcakes, hot cocoa mix, cosy socks/gloves, or even some delish Christmas punch served in cute little jars.
Rather than the typical favour bags, you could go for presents instead. Neatly wrap and label each gift (one per guest) and place them under the Christmas tree (ready to be collected at the end of the event). You could also hang stockings filled with little gifts (and for those with extra cash to splash, personalised stockings go down a treat!).
FUN TIP:
Turn the gift delivery into a game! Pick one person to be 'Santa' - it will be their job to set out the favours at some point during the celebration (whether this be placing presents under the tree or filling stockings). The first person to notice that Santa has visited gets a prize!

It's Time to Get Merry!
As you can see, hosting the ultimate Christmas party doesn't have to be hard. After all, the goal isn't perfection - it's connection! And with a bit of planning, a little creativity, and a whole lot of Christmas spirit, you'll soon have a celebration that guests will talk about for MANY years to come.
So turn up the carols, pour the punch, and get ready to host an event to remember!

Whether you're after a rainy day activity, classroom brain break, boredom buster, birthday party game, or weekend fun - these beauties have you covered. Just grab some dice, paper, pencils + your printable guide (SO many options outlined below), and let the creativity take over!
Quick Game Overview:
As you scroll through the games below, you'll notice that they all include either a chart or prompt where each number on the dice matches a different part of the drawing. To play, all you have to do is roll the dice, and then draw whatever the chart/prompt tells you to. Then roll again for the next part. By the end of the game, you’ll have a completely original (and oftentimes hilarious) creation!
For example, if I rolled a 1 on the House game listed below, I would add a door to my drawing. If I then rolled a 5, my house would get a mailbox. I'd continue rolling and drawing until the house is completed.

MAKE YOUR ROLL-TO-DRAW GAME EVEN BETTER:
Keep things fresh and fun every time you play. You can do this by encouraging kids to colour in their masterpieces after they've drawn them, by providing a different colour and/or medium each round (e.g. pencils, crayons, markers), or by giving them a fun challenge every time a new drawing is started (such as who can create the silliest masterpiece? The scariest? The sweetest?). It's one printable, numerous ways!
10+ ROLL-THE-DICE DRAWING GAMES TO TRY
From festive fun to foodie delights, each of these printable games has a different theme; meaning you can mix things up anytime you'd like to combine art and play!
