If you saw my Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt Printable, you will love this twist on it! Our kids are getting older and we wanted to make the annual Christmas light viewing a little harder than the regular scavenger hunt. We came up with this Christmas Lights Bingo Game that will do the trick.

Heading out to look at the Christmas lights is something we have done every year since the kids were small. We still want to make it a tradition while we have the kids here at home with us. They do both look forward to it and since we have incorporated the games as they have gotten older, they love it even more.

We like to have some healthy competition in our house and any time I can come up with games for us to play, we all put our game faces on and get ready to play.

We created four different bingo cards to go with this game. They all have the same images on them, but they are all in a different order. We laminated them so we can use dry-erase markers and wipe them off when we get home and use them again next year.

When we head out this year, I will have all of the bingo cards face-down on the table and we will roll a dice to see who gets to pick their card first.

I will put the cards on clip boards so they are easy to mark while we are driving in the car.

Hot cocoa will be served and a side of cookies or another snack will surely be included.

Once we are in the car and say, “start”, the game begins.

As we drive around the neighborhoods to look at lights, each person needs to look for certain things on their bingo card and cross left off as they see them.

The first person to get four in a row needs to tell “bingo” and they win.

You can play this over and over again as people win and as you drive to different neighborhoods.

If your family is anything like ours, tradition is important and so is a little game to make those traditions even more fun.

I would love to know if you give this a try! Print off the FREE bingo cards HERE.

Take a photo when you using them and tag me on Instagram @mycreativedays so I am sure to see it!

Happy Christmas light hunting!

Christmas Light Bingo Game

Going for a drive to look at Christmas lights is one of my kids’ favorite Christmas traditions. Every Christmas Eve, we pile into the car, make a quick pitstop for hot chocolate and donuts and cruise the neighborhoods admiring all of the pretty lights.

It’s a really fun, simple, and FREE Christmas activity that your family can do together, whether you’ve got toddlers or teenagers!

And if you want to make the drive even more fun, you can add in this free printable Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt!

How to Do a Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt

A Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt could NOT be easier to plan… which makes it a great family activity for the already overloaded and super busy holiday season!

Here’s how to do your own Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt with your family:

1. Plan a time for your Scavenger Hunt.

My family has a long-standing tradition of going on a drive to look at Christmas lights every Christmas Eve, but you could also do a walking Christmas light hunt.

If you live in a warmer climate, why not walk around a well-decorated neighborhood looking for Christmas lights? This is a great way to get some exercise (and wear out your kids on Christmas Eve!).

2. Print the FREE Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt List.

3. Bring hot chocolate and Christmas cookies!

This is totally optional but HIGHLY recommended! You can even bake your own yummy Christmas cookies with your kids, like these cute Rudolph Sugar Cookies, to bring with you on your scavenger hunt.

4. Have prizes for the winner!

What’s a fun family activity without a little competition?! If you have older kids, you can up the ante and offer a prize for the person that finds the most items on the list.

Prizes could include:

  • coffee gift card
  • iTunes gift card
  • one week off of chores
  • getting to open the first present on Christmas Day
  • deciding on the Christmas movie that the family will watch

Make Your Own Christmas Scavenger Hunt for Kids

If you don’t want to use the free printable, you can also make your own scavenger hunt list! Here are some awesome ideas for how to turn this fun Christmas scavenger hunt activity into an art project (to keep your kids busy for even longer!):

  • Have your kids cut pictures out of the December issue of a magazine and glue them to a piece of card stock or construction paper. Then, when you go on your family scavenger hunt, they have to find the items in the pictures.
  • Let kids draw their own pictures of Christmas items like Santa and reindeer to find during the scavenger hunt.
  • Have kids write out their own list of scavenger hunt items. This is a great way for them to get some extra writing practice, too!
