Holiday Reading Bingo & 12 Books of Christmas Countdown — Printable Set

Instant download — no physical item ships. A reading game and a book-a-day countdown in one printable set — print, mark, unwrap, read.

Holiday Reading Bingo turns the season's reading into a game: mark a square when you finish what it asks, five in a row is Bingo. The 12 Books of Christmas Countdown tucks a numbered card into each of 12 wrapped books to open one a day — start any day, it is undated.

An open book under a winter-night sky — pine, moon and restrained stars rising from the pages — carries the cover, in the same muted heritage palette as the Cream City Holiday set: cream parchment, deep evergreen, cranberry-burgundy, antique gold and sepia ink. No Santa, no reindeer, no slogans — books, pine and lamplight. A light Cream City touch (three or four swappable * squares: a Wisconsin author, reading while it snows, a book from a local bookshop) never blocks a line and never blocks a non-local reader.

What's inside — 9 US Letter pages

• Cover — open-book winter-night hero, bingo grid ghosted behind the title
• How-to / how to play — plain instructions, low-ink note (bingo on cardstock), Milwaukee * prompts are swappable
