Christmas Office Bingo

A festive bingo game to add cheer to workplace Christmas parties and gatherings.

Christmas Office Bingo brings a playful festive spin to the season, whether it is running quietly through a video call during a virtual party or handed out at the office Christmas gathering. It leans into the familiar, fun clichés of office festivities without singling anyone out. It is designed to add cheer to the run-up to the holidays.

How to run this activity

Distribute a bingo card to each colleague at the start of your Christmas gathering or virtual party. Participants tick off squares as they spot the moments and traditions described happening around them. Set a time frame covering the event, and encourage people to shout bingo as soon as they complete a line. Round off with a small festive prize for the winner.

Yes, every prompt is written to be light-hearted and inclusive, celebrating shared festive moments rather than poking fun at any individual. It suits mixed workplace cultures and different comfort levels with Christmas celebrations.

A small festive treat, a gift card, or simply first pick from the secret santa pile all work nicely and keep the tone light rather than competitive.
