How about SHEEP or SHAUN instead of BINGO?
Another game we play at every party (even my teenager's!) is musical chairs with a twist. When the music stops, everyone sits on a chair. Go again, but this time remove a chair (not a child). Keep going and remove a chair every round. Eventually, all the kids are sitting on one chair all on top of each other and laughing hysterically. It's very fun and no one has to be out. I know it's not sheep related, but it is a really fun game. Maybe you could use the theme song from the show as your music. I've never seen the show so don't know if it even has theme music.
Here is another one I just thought of that also gets a lot of laughs and you could make it sheepy. In advance, we put instructions of funny things to do (baa like a sheep, do a dance, run around saying Happy Christmas, etc. whatever is silly) on little sheets of paper and put them inside balloons. Blow up the balloons and tie them. One at a time, each of the girls sits on a balloon to pop it and then they have to do whatever the instruction says. You might have to help the little ones read, but that would be okay. We usually play where the person who pops the balloon has to do the funny thing, but last time, all the girls did all the things. It was hysterical having 14 eight year olds dancing around the house (or whatever).
We've also played the telephone game where I have started with a sentence - otherwise the kids come up with dumb stuff. Something along the lines of Shaun Sheep sees sunny skies and skiing snowmen.
We've hung donuts from strings in our garage and had the kids eat them without using their hands (again, not sheep related but you could do cotton candy and call it wool).
You could make sheep shaped sugar cookies and let them decorate with frosing and sprinkles (if you don't mind a mess).
Those are all my ideas for now. Good luck and have fun! Oh! Always have a story or a short movie for a back up just in case. Also, when my kids were smaller, there would always be one invited child who didn't want to participate and that was okay, too.
Let us know how it all goes!
