People are usually surprised to hear this, especially since I run a popular decluttering group on Facebook and have a business called “Happy Organized Life,” but… I don’t really like decluttering.
If I made a list of ways I wanted to spend my time, decluttering wouldn’t make the top thousand!
I’d much rather paint, read a book, spend time with family, or see a movie, but whether I want to do it or not, decluttering needs to be done, and I do love the benefits that come from clearing a space.
If you feel the same way, I have good news. Decluttering doesn’t have to be something you dread. It can actually be fun, I promise!
If you enjoy playing games, decluttering bingo can transform your decluttering experience and make it something you really enjoy!
Decluttering bingo was inspired by a member of my Declutterathon group who loved to track her daily activities and progress in her bullet journal. One day, she shared a picture of her journal with the group, and in the corner was a little bingo game she had created for herself.
I absolutely loved the idea, so I asked if I could implement it, and a new group challenge was born!
How To Play Decluttering Bingo
Playing is easy. If you’ve played bingo before, you already know how to play this game.
All you have to do is complete five tasks in any row, column, or diagonally across the board, and you’ve got a Bingo!
When you’re done, you’ll also have less clutter in your home, which is an awesome bonus!

Where can I get a card?
You can get a free decluttering bingo card by clicking here.
If you’d like a new card or decluttering challenge every month, we’d love to have you join us in the Clutter-Free Club!
In the Clutter-Free Club, you’ll also get access to a library of decluttering resources, helpful videos, live events and decluttering sessions, and a private community of supportive new friends.
I’d love to hear how decluttering bingo goes for you, and I can’t wait to hear about all the progress you make around your home!
Happy decluttering!
Just, “Yay!” It sounds like fun!
Thanks for all your work and creativity!
Yay!! I think so too! Thank you for being excited!!
I love this!
Thanks, Patty!
I tried several times to get the Bingo card. I submitted my name and email address but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Lynn, Are you a member of the Declutterathon group on Facebook? I posted step by step instructions in there on how to get the card. I’ll have to add them to the blog too. If you want to email me with exactly where things are going wrong, I’d be happy to help. Thanks!
SAME! I am so frustrated!! I have tried multiple times. I keep getting directed to a page to enter my email and first name. Then I am taken to a page where it says to confirm my email, “but first”, I can take advantage of printables for only$… SO annoying. I don’t want to purchase additional printables. I only want to print off the bingo card. I posted on the page. Got one comment saying it’s spam and to close all open tabs. That doesn’t make any difference, and it isn’t spam. It’s all the happy organized life stuff. ugh.
Hi Lora, sorry to hear you’re frustrated. You don’t have to purchase anything. It’s completely up to you. If you aren’t interested, just close out that page. As I stated in the directions and on the special offer page, the link and password to the free printable library are automatically emailed to you after you sign up. If you haven’t received an email, it’s probably for one of the following reasons: 1) the email address was entered incorrectly 2) the email has ended up in your trash, junk, or promotions (if using gmail) folder or 3) you’ve previously unsubscribed from my newsletter, which prevents me from being about to email you.
I took a minute to look up your address, and it says you’ve been a subscriber since 2016 (yay! Thanks!). This means you didn’t actually have to sign up for the cards at all. You’ve had access to the free printable library this whole time. Just click the free printable library link at the bottom of any of my emails, enter the password, scroll down until you see the bingo card for the week, download and print. If I can help with anything else, please let me know. Take care!
This is such a good idea!

Week #1 Bingo done! Now on to week #2. You compiled a good balance of tasks making this so doable. This is so much fun!
Thank you, Ginger. I’m so happy to hear that! That was my goal <3 Thanks for inspiring us and playing along!
So, we can only show the Bingo card for that week? I just saw this and there are two Bingo cards.
The card will change each week to keep things fresh. Card #2 is for the week of January 12-18 🙂
Hi there! Love this idea but I can’t gain access to the printable. I’ve signed up several times just to make sure but I can’t access the printable. Help please!
Hi Patty, I just looked up your email address, and it looks like you received today’s email (woohoo!). If you scroll to the bottom of that email, there’s a link for you to click that will take you to the decluttering bingo printables. I’ll be including that link in every weekly newsletter to try to keep things as easy as possible. If you have any other questions, please let me know. I’m happy to help! -Emily
I’m hoping that next time this happens, while it’s been fun, every time I come to get the free printable bingo card, it’s confusing to find my way to it. May be next time, instead of mailing the letter with links, you can just email the bingo card? I keep getting to the Paypal page for the printable library. Grrr. I’ve gotten to the right page before…will keep trying.
Sounds like you’re signing up every single time. That’s not necessary. All you have to do is go straight to the free printable library (I include the link in every email), enter the password (if your computer hasn’t already saved it), find the card, and print. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the bingo!
I can not find the Bingo cards anywhere?
They’re in the free printable library. Once you subscribe, you’ll be emailed a link. I’ve outlined the steps here in the post.
I ordered but they got my email wrong!?!? Help lol
Oh no! Megan, please email the correct address to emily@happyorganizedlife.com with “Correct email” in the subject line, and we’ll get it taken care of. Thanks!
Yeah!! Looking forward to this motivational game to make things fun! Can I still do it without printing? My printer’s not working right now.
Sure! Some people take a screenshot or write the activities down on paper for themselves. Whatever works for you! 🙂
How much does this cost?
Decluttering Bingo is free! 🙂
Love the idea of the of the Declutter BINGO. Can’t wait to get my card so I can play along.
