Step-By-Step:
Start by saving the Banned Book Bingo PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print it.
For random drawing, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pull them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Give one card to each player. For marking, you can use pencils. Crayons are the cheapest.
Select one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller opens the game by randomly pulling an item from the call list and announcing it to everyone.
The players look at their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they mark that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items shouts "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller confirms that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for an extended play.
