Pass the Pie & Mark the Square With FREE Thanksgiving Bingo

Thanksgiving drama, you say? Who, my family?! Oh, you must be referring to the year Dad caught his sleeve on fire while lighting the pumpkin candles. Yep, holiday drama is practically a national pastime.

Between the turkey that takes forever, relatives who take forever-er, and someone who always asks when you’ll finally get married, the day practically writes its own comedy sketch.

This year, though, you don’t have to sit there silently judging Aunt Linda’s green Jell-O casserole. You can make a game of it with free, printable adult Thanksgiving bingo cards from Cafe Casino.

Thanksgiving Bingo Instructions

Thanksgiving bingo for adults works the same way as the bingo you already know, just with way more real-life crazy events slathered on like gravy.

Like our other free printable bingo cards, instead of numbers, your Thanksgiving cards are packed with the very scenarios you can bet will pop up during Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey pardon, or the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

That includes the president fumbling through the turkey pardon, your cousin’s mystery dish that may or may not be edible (is that tofurkey?), or the parade host that says, “supposably” instead of “supposedly.”

Each card is a 5×5 grid filled with holiday-specific moments. As they happen in real time, whether on TV or at your own table, you cross off the matching square. The middle space is your trusty “freebie.” Wouldn’t be bingo without it.

The first person to get five in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins. Go ahead and offer them the last slice of pie. Unless, of course, that pie was burned, which might have been the final square that allowed them to win.

Once the good times get rolling like dough, use that momentum to make some of your own dough with real-life bingo at Cafe Casino. Deposit with crypto, and play any type of bingo as Bitcoin gambling, withdrawing your winnings as real cash.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need much to get started with Thanksgiving bingo for adults, and you certainly don’t need to wait for Black Friday sales to snatch up craft supplies. Simply gather the essentials to keep the game rolling.

First up, grab the free printable bingo cards. We offer three ready-to-go versions: Thanksgiving Dinner Bingo, Turkey Pardon Bingo, and the Thanksgiving Parade Bingo. Print enough for everyone at the table, and maybe a few extra in case the “someone who’s had too much wine” accidentally spills on one. Was that you? Okay, it was you. No problem. At least you got a square.

Next, you’ll want something to mark your squares. Pens or pencils are the easy route, but feel free to get festive with stickers, pumpkin seeds, or even chocolate chips. Just…don’t eat your winning row too early.

Finally, have a prize in mind. If you plan a little, goofy rewards always get a laugh. Swing by a thrift store and pick up silly little trinkets, like turkey-shaped salt shakers or a novelty apron that says “Talk Turkey to Me.”

Before you play, don’t forget to pass around the most important side of all. Nope, not your famous green bean casserole. Nope, also not the marshmallow-covered sweet potatoes, although they do look divine.

Our Versions Of Thanksgiving Bingo – Ready To Download

Time to dig in. Our Thanksgiving day bingo printables are hot and ready. You already know the turkey pardon groan-worthy joke and the smoke alarm mid-dinner are coming, so get the cards ready to cross them off between bites.

Turkey Pardon Bingo

When the U.S. president pardons one lucky (and probably bewildered) turkey, you’ll be tuning in, not just for the ceremony, but to check off your bingo squares. Watch closely for classic moments like the president cracking a cheesy turkey pun, commenting on the bird’s size, or making an awkward joke.

Every November, the White House puts on its quirkiest tradition with the presidential turkey pardon. It never fails to elicit a laugh, which makes it perfect for bingo cards for Thanksgiving. With our Turkey Pardon Bingo card, you’ll mark off squares as the event unfolds live on TV.

Expect the classics, like the president dropping a groan-worthy bird pun, commenting on how “healthy” or “plump” the turkey looks, or sneaking in a joke about Thanksgiving traffic. There’s even a square for the turkey acting like it wants nothing to do with the cameras, ruffled feathers and all. If a handler awkwardly wrangles the bird or a reporter laughs too loudly at a not-so-funny joke, that’s another square checked.

Once your cards are gobbled up and every square’s pecked clean, don’t let the party die down, even if half the attendees are crashed out on the couch. That’s your cue to pull out your phone and spin through Hot Drop Jackpot slots. An Epic jackpot is getting stuffed fuller than the Thanksgiving bird, and one lucky player will gobble it up before it reaches its cap. Better hurry and claim that slice of the feast for yourself.

Thanksgiving Dinner Bingo

Let’s face it, every Thanksgiving has its share of kitchen disasters and family slip-ups. With these Thanksgiving bingo cards, you can check off the squares for every whoopsie, faux pas, and cringe-worthy moment from the guests’ arrival to the inevitable “unique” Thanksgiving dish. What?! It’s popular in France!

No matter how much you polish the silverware or map out seating charts, Thanksgiving dinner never goes quite as planned. Turns out, you simply can’t account for Uncle Joe challenging Dad to an arm wrestling match. When will Dad learn? Uncle Joe always lifts his elbow off the table for extra leverage. Instead of stressing over the unknowns, you’ll be laughing as you cross off each square.

The card is filled with all-too-familiar dinner table moments. Like the classic “someone forgets the rolls” square.

You’ll also find “kids refusing to eat anything but pie,” and our favorite, “you end up ordering takeout in the end.” If the smoke alarm chirps mid-meal, that’s another square down (bonus points if it happens while carving the bird).

By the time dessert rolls around, you’ll realize the real tradition isn’t the turkey. It’s watching every quirky square on your Thanksgiving Dinner Bingo card come to life.

Thanksgiving Parade Bingo

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade brings something new to the table each year. This year, tune in to play Thanksgiving bingo to make the spectacle more interesting by marking the moment you see glitter confetti or a celebrity singing off-key.

How To Host Thanksgiving with Bingo

We could sit here and tell you to make enough food, bust out the fancy china, and put a taxidermy turkey wearing sunglasses as a centerpiece (just us?), but you already know all that. Instead, we’re here to remind you that keeping the crowd entertained is just as vital.

A quick batch of our signature Thanksgiving Cran-Bourbon cocktail gets everyone in good spirits (literally).

Now, even with high spirits, every Thanksgiving gathering has a lull. The kids are half asleep, and the adults need a spark. That’s your chance to break out a little casino fun with a game of at-home roulette. Setting it up is really easy!

Finally, save a little turkey for the next-day encore. Before anyone mutters that they couldn’t possibly eat any more turkey, present your leftover turkey egg rolls, and watch them all vehemently change their mind as they scarf them down. Trust us – these are to die for.

Before you slip into a gravy-induced nap, don’t forget the fun doesn’t have to stop at printable bingo cards for Thanksgiving. Play real bingo at Cafe Casino and turn the holiday energy into actual winnings. Grab your phone, play a card, and let’s call that the true Thanksgiving leftovers. And hey – choke down a spoonful of Aunt Linda’s green Jell-O casserole while you’re at it. Some traditions are just too weird to skip.
