Get This Popular Christian Easter Bingo Printable Game
Did someone say BINGO?
I mean, who doesn’t love a good fun game of Bingo? It’s so versatile and makes for the perfect game to play with family, friends and even small youth groups at church. I created a Christian Easter bingo printable that just boasts with the religious Easter theme.
Use it to introduce the biblical resurrection story to your kids or use it as a refresher or supplement to what they’ve already learned about this amazing story.
As long as my kids hear bingo, they’re all in to play… whether we’re gonna be playing regular bingo games or a jazzed up bingo like this one. They don’t care if it’s store-bought or printed out. The bingo game itself just brings about so much fun and excitement.
Even though someone is always THIS close to winning, we never have any sore losers. It’s always a great time spent together, even for me as the bingo caller who’s usually calling out everything.

Don’t be like me and forget about the prizes. Usually when I forget to plan for the prizes, I resort to giving money as a prize. That’s what you call mom guilt from being unprepared.

Setting Up Bingo
First things first, download and print the file.
There’s a little bit of prep work to do beforehand, but really, it mostly entails cutting.
Grab the scissors because the bingo cards need to be cut.
The calling cards need to be cut.
AND the bingo markers need to be cut.
If you have a paper cutter tool like I have, it makes the process go so much quicker.
How to Play
Most people know the general concept of playing Bingo. It’s really the same with this bingo as well.
However, you can go over the images with your children and give them a little explanation on how the image relates to the resurrection story.
Don’t forget, for every image listed on the bingo cards, I provided you a description further up.
But for your basic step by step instructions:
- Hand Out the Bingo Cards: Give each player a bingo card and a stack of the bingo markers.
- Draw the Calling Cards: Mix up the calling cards in a bowl or paper bag. Choose who’s going to be the caller and that person will draw the cards one by one.
- Call Out the Images: The caller pulls a card, shows it to everyone, and calls out the image or symbol. For example, “Jesus praying!” or “Empty tomb!”
- Mark Your Card: The players look for the called image on their bingo cards and place a marker on it if they have it.
- Shout ‘Bingo!’: The first person to get five in a row shouts BINGO. And that’s five in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
- Win!: The winner claims their prize.
There are 25 spaces on the bingo cards including the free space. When I created the bingo cards, I used 30 different symbols to make up the different bingo cards. Sometimes my family plays a “cover all” bingo for a bigger prize and if I used the same number of symbols on all the cards, everybody would get bingo at the same time if playing that version. So I wanted to give you the option to have a single winner if you decide to play a cover all bingo as well.
Creative Ideas for Easter Bible Story Bingo
Storytime Bingo
This is a bit unconventional, but if you want to change it up a bit and add a bit of a challenge, try this.
Gather around for storytime. An adult or older child can read the Easter story aloud from either online or a children’s Bible.
The players listen for the keywords that correlate with the images on their bingo cards.
As the story is read, kids listen carefully and place a marker on their card whenever they hear one of the keywords mentioned.
And keeping up with regular bingo, the first child to get five in a row shouts “BINGO!” and wins a prize.
Bingo Markers
Instead of using the printable bingo markers, you can have your kids use the bingo dot markers from Dollar Tree or keep it themed and use jelly beans as markers.

Printing Recommendations
For an added layer of durability and to reuse this fun Easter game again next year, print on cardstock paper. For best results, laminate each sheet. The caller can use dry erase markers to mark off the images being called. Use rubbing alcohol to clean your laminated sheets.
