🕎 Hanukkah
Hanukkah Bingo Cards
Eight nights of candles, dreidels and latkes, with the sour-cream-versus-applesauce argument that comes with them. A card that stretches across the whole festival rather than one evening.
Start from the 30 words below, swap in your own, and download a print-ready PDF. Every card in the batch is guaranteed different, so nobody shares a winning square.

Every card below is built from the same word list and no two are the same. Each is on a different one of the background illustrations you can pick between in the designer.

When Hanukkah bingo works
Eight nights, one game
A card per night, or one card played across the whole festival, gives the eight evenings a thread running through them rather than eight separate ones.
A family party
Candles, latkes, dreidels and gelt make a word list the youngest children at the table already know by sight, which is what lets them play alongside adults.
A classroom learning about the festival
The words are the vocabulary. Playing a round is a more durable way to teach them than a handout.

Hanukkah bingo questions
Can I use Hebrew or transliterated words?
Yes — type them exactly as you want them and they print as typed. Shorter words stay more legible in a 5x5 grid.
Does this work alongside dreidel?
It runs quietly in the background of a night that already has dreidel in it, and the two do not compete for the same attention.
Are these Hanukkah bingo cards really free?
Yes. Unlimited card downloads, no account, no subscription. Free cards carry a small printmybingocards.com watermark; a clean set without it is a one-off $5–$16.99 depending on how many cards are in the batch.
Will every card be different?
Yes. Generate up to 100 cards in one batch and every one gets its own arrangement of your words — checked card against card, so no two people in the room are playing the same grid.
How do I print them?
The download is a US Letter PDF you can print at home or at a copy shop. Choose one, two or four cards per page — four is the paper-saving option, one gives the biggest squares to mark. Ordinary paper is fine; cardstock holds up better if the cards get handled all evening.
Can I change the words?
All 30 of them. The Hanukkah list is a starting point — delete anything that does not fit, paste in your own, and the cards are built from whatever you end up with.
How to actually run the game
You have the cards. These cover the rest of it — the rules, the hosting, and what separates a caller who keeps a room going from one reading out a list.
