Step-By-Step:
Start by saving the Bloomsbury 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 pick 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 cost the least.
Pick 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 starts the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and saying it to all players.
The players check their cards to see if they have the called 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 game.
The caller validates that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for an extended game.
