Ever since I posted Christmas Bingo, I've been wanting to create a game that was about the real meaning of Christmas. (And my readers have been asking for it, too!) Nativity Bingo will never be allowed in a school classroom, but families can enjoy it. Spending so much time and energy on Santa Claus, magic Elves and finding the perfect Christmas gifts leaves us little time for rest. It's nice to sit back and think about the real meaning of Christmas, too.
Who says Christmas games should only focus on Santa Claus and snowmen? Play Nativity Bingo after teaching the kids the Christmas story. It's a good way to remember the story and have a little bit of fun. I even used a game board with the children at church the other day as we learned a Christmas song (Picture a Christmas).

How to Play
This game is a little different than traditional bingo, so check out the instructions before you play (also included with the download):
Cut the two pages of calling cards into individual cards and put them into a bag or hat. To play, pull a card out of the hat, and call out what is on the card (or just show the card). Players look for that picture on their card and cover it up. Continue pulling cards from the bag one at a time until someone gets five in a row. (You cannot play blackout because every card has every picture on it. This game is meant to be played for traditional five-in-a-row bingo only.)
The adorable graphics in this game were mostly created by The Happy Graphics with a few created by me.
Speaking of nativities, I have to show you my absolute favorite nativity set. (I'm still waiting for some store to have a going-out-of-business sale so I can sweep in and buy the whole set for cheap!) *Affiliate links.
I don't think I'll ever own the whole set, but a girl can dream, can't she? Isn't it beautiful? What's your favorite nativity set?

How Many People Can Play Nativity Christmas Bingo?
You can invite as many people as you can. But, it depends on how many Nativity Christmas bingo cards you have. The minimum players are 10 because each card has different forms of the Nativity scene. If in your class there are 20 students, then you can invite all of them. For playing this game at a party, you have to check the number of cards you have, so the participant can play one card per person. After all, we can invite many participants to this game.
Can I Color Nativity Christmas Bingo?
Definitely! You can color and decorate the Nativity Christmas bingo. Some templates are left black and white, meaning that you, especially children can give some color. Mostly, this game is played by people of all ages, so kids are allowed to play this game too since it is about the birth of Jesus. As a result, they can color what's on the board and other areas on the sheet that is usually around the Nativity scene. People can color the template with colored pencils because it has a mild texture, so they can use the board again next time.
What Do You See at Nativity Christmas Bingo?
You will see these characters in the Nativity scene. It starts with Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus. Then, there are ox and donkey, and shepherds, Three Wise Men, with the 3 gifts they gave. Other things you will see in the grids are a star, manger, angel, and the place where Jesus was born. In fact, all figures have their own representation and meaning. Mary, for example, is often portrayed wearing a sky-blue dress, meaning delicate spirituality and loyalty. Donkey and ox have obedience, while humans, the most divine creation of God, do the reverse.
