Time it to end at midnight
Start around eleven with a quick round for a single line, then four corners, then a full card for the last half hour. Pace the calling so the blackout round is still going when the countdown starts, and give the last prize at the stroke of twelve. With the online caller on the TV, everyone sees each picture big, and it can call on its own every few seconds while you pour drinks.
Noon Year's Eve for kids
Small children rarely make it to midnight, so many families and preschools count down at noon instead, with a balloon drop and juice in plastic cups. Play this set before the countdown. For toddlers, make Pictures only cards in the form below and choose 3x3 or 4x4: they only need to spot the fireworks or the clock.
Party ideas
Use confetti, sequins or chocolate coins as markers. Give each winner a party popper or a noisemaker to set off at midnight. Grown-up parties can change the words in the form: add your own in-jokes, last year's big moments or the names of the guests, and print new cards in a minute.
Prizes
Small and many beats one big prize: a party hat, a glow stick, a chocolate coin, first pick of the snacks, the right to choose the countdown channel. Keep a few spare prizes for ties, since two players often call bingo on the same word.

Questions
How many pictures are on the New Year's Eve bingo cards?
40 New Year pictures, from fireworks and confetti to the clock, the countdown and the midnight toast. Each 5x5 card shows 24 of them around a free space, so no two cards are the same.
Is there a version without words for little kids?
Yes. In the form on this page choose Pictures only and make the cards again. For toddlers, choose 3x3 or 4x4 cards too.
Can I add my own New Year words?
Yes. Edit the word list in the form below: add family traditions, guests' names or last year's big moments. Most words get a picture of their own, and a word without one prints as a word.
Is it free?
Yes. The cards, the caller sheet, the online caller and the winner check are free with no sign-up.
