Looking for a fun way to work on emotions this Christmas? Try this free printable Santa emotions bingo game for kids.

Anxiety and emotions run high at Christmas. Often, kids need a lot of extra support during the holidays. So it's important to give them strategies to not only name and identify their emotions, but to regulate as well.

This free printable Santa emotions bingo game is a cute way to work on the first part: the naming and identification of different emotions.

With adorable little Santa emojis, kids will explore different feelings such as happy and sad or silly and excited. They'll match what they see with what's on their bingo card. It's a quick and fun way to build their emotional vocabulary.

About this Santa Emotions Bingo Game

If you're familiar with bingo at all, then you'll know how to play this game. The main differences here are that there are only 3 columns and 3 rows instead of the usual 5. There is also no free space on these cards. 

To play, shuffle the calling cards and place them in a pile face down. Draw a card and read the name of the emotion shown on the card. 

Then, using the Santa emoji shown on the calling card as a reference, check to see if that emotion is on your game card or not. If it is, cover the spot using a bingo dabber (if unlaminated), cross it off with a dry erase marker (if laminated), or use a some kind of small manipulative like a Christmas mini eraser, glass stone, or poker chip.

I also highly recommend laminating the bingo game cards and calling cards first for durability. Here's the laminator I use and love.

If you don't have a laminator, then you can also just use clear sheet protectors, which you can usually find at the dollar store. Just slip the printable bingo game cards inside and voila!
