Eurovision Bingo: 25 Fun Things to Spot During the Eurovision Song Contest

Are you a Eurovision fan? Same here :) It’s one of the absolute highlights of our year. If you love turning the Eurovision Song Contest into a full event at home, Eurovision Bingo is such a fun way to make the night even better. It’s easy to play, works for families, friends and watch parties, and adds a little extra excitement to every performance, costume reveal and dramatic points announcement.

Whether you're hosting a full-on Eurovision party or just watching from the sofa in your pyjamas, this is one of our favourite Eurovision party game ideas to play every year.

What Is Eurovision Bingo?

Eurovision Bingo is a simple spotting game where players tick off things they see happen during the show. That might be:

• a costume change
• a smoke machine
• a dramatic aerial stage shot
• matching outfits
• or, if the Eurovision gods allow it… the UK getting 12 points

It’s easy to set up, funny to play, and brilliant for both big Eurovision parties and smaller family nights in.

How to Play Eurovision Bingo

You can either use printable Eurovision Bingo cards or make your own at home. To make your own DIY Eurovision Bingo cards:

• Draw a 4x4 or 5x5 grid on each card
• Write one Eurovision-themed word or phrase in each box
• Make each card slightly different so everyone has a unique board
• Give each player a pen, pencil or bingo dabber
• Mark off each item as you spot it on screen

You can play however you like, but our favourite way is:

• One line = first mini win
• Two lines = second win
• Full house = Eurovision glory

Simple, silly and very competitive in the best possible way.

Playing with Adults?

You can also turn this into a Eurovision drinking game if you’re hosting an adults-only watch party. For example:

• Take a sip every time you cross off a square
• Take a shot for one completed line
• Finish your drink for a full house

• families
• friends
• Eurovision superfans
• casual viewers
