Step-By-Step:
Start by downloading the Basho PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random drawing, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then draw them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pens. Crayons cost the least.
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 starts the play by randomly pulling an item from the call list and saying it to all players.
The players look at their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they dab that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of crossed items shouts "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller confirms that the items crossed off form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for multiple patterns or a full card blackout for a longer play.
