Printable Christmas People Bingo

Our church is having a congregational Christmas party on Sunday. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm running the People Bingo game. This is the card I made. 

I tried to include a mix of things that apply to a lot of people and others that are more unique, so that the game is winnable but not ridiculously easy. Nine of the 16 apply to me. How many are true for you? Let me know in the comments!

Addicted to Coloring? No. Scrapbooking? Maybe.

I've been doing a lot of coloring recently, but I am totally not addicted. How do I know for sure? I didn't even score a single bingo.

So we've established that I'm a long way from being a coloring addict, but it's *maybe* possible that I am a scrapbook addict. Let's see how I do on a scrapbook addict bingo card....

Blackout! I win!

Here's a blank copy of the scrapbook addict bingo card. How many bingos are you able to score? I know some of my readers can get blackout. Tell me your results in the comments!

For those who are not quite as addicted as I am, you may be wondering about the answers to three of the squares.  First, 15 brands of patterned paper, in no particular order: Simple Stories; Echo Park; PhotoPlay Paper; Carta Bella Paper; Paper House Productions; Scrapbook Customs, Amy Tangerine, Doodlebug Design, Kaisercraft, Graphic45, My Mind's Eye, Reminisce, Dress My Craft, Bella Blvd, and American Crafts. The famous scrappers' last names are (Tim) Holtz, (Becky) Higgins, (Heidi) Swapp, (Shimelle) Laine, and (Ali) Edwards. The acronyms stand for three different manufacturers: We R Memory Keepers, Me and My Big Ideas, and Die Cuts with a View. Yea, scrapbooking!

Capitol Bingo

Our family is on a quest to visit each of the 50 states before Trevor is 18. Whenever possible, we include a visit to the state's capital city and the Capitol building in that city. When I posted 13 Helpful Tips for Visiting a State Capitol with Kids, our family had been to 20 of the 50 Capitol buildings. If all went as planned, we visited our 21st earlier this week!

Some of the Capitols have word searches, crossword puzzles, and other kid-friendly activities for families to print and bring with them when they visit the Capitol, but many do not. I challenged myself to create a printable that would work regardless of which state capital you visit. It was tough, but I came up with this bingo card. Of course, it could be done competitively, but I envision using it cooperatively as a family, with a prize (something small from the gift shop?) for the kids getting either bingo or blackout. 

Next week I'll be sharing all about our recent travels to the capital of the Lone Star State, including how we did completing this bingo card in Austin!
