Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Bingo 2025
 |
Our yearly Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Bingo cards — a sweet little tradition to start the morning.
About 5 years ago, {CLICK HERE to see past parade breakfasts}, the kids were little and attention spans were even littler, I made a Thanksgiving Parade bingo cards on a whim. Something hold their attention during the parade when there would a lull or commentary they didn't care about. Something to keep them watching, not just waiting for the next balloon they recognized. I didn’t think much of it at the time. But they loved it. And then the next year they asked for them again. And then the next. And somehow it became a tradition—just one more soft, simple thread woven into our Thanksgiving mornings. & now it has become a tradition for so many of you!
Now it wouldn’t feel like Thanksgiving without printing a stack of cards and setting them on the coffee table before anyone else is awake. It’s funny how the smallest things become the ones we reach for every year.

If Parade Bingo is new for your family, or if you’re here because you’ve played along with us for years, I hope this becomes a sweet little tradition in your home too. One of those things that doesn't require planning or perfection—just a warm drink, a cozy couch, the parade on the TV, and people you love close by.

How to Play Macy's Thanksgiving Parade Bingo:
-
Print one or more bingo cards ahead of the parade.
-
Grab crayons, markers, stickers.
When you spot one of the items on your card, mark it off.
-
Play for a row (horizontal/vertical/diagonal) or go for a “cover-all” (entire card) if you’ve got older kids.
-
Decide on a fun prize for the winner: maybe the first slice of pie, picking the family movie, or helping Mom with dessert.
-
Bask in the laughter, the excited “I saw it!”, and the joy of making a TV-watching moment into a memory.

Print a few, share a few, let the kids circle or doodle or scribble their finds. And if you’re like me, you’ll end up keeping at least one as a little snapshot of the morning, a reminder of who sat where, who spotted Snoopy first, and how another year passed a little too fast.
