Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Basic Needs Bingo PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random calling, 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 lines if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Give one card to each player. For marking, you can use markers. Crayons are the cheapest.
Choose one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller may also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller initiates the play by randomly drawing 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 dab that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of crossed items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller confirms that the items crossed off form a proper line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
