Step-By-Step:
Start by saving the Reference Card 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 marks if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Give one card to each player. For marking, you can use markers. Crayons are the cheapest.
Pick one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller opens the game by randomly drawing an item from the call list and saying it to everyone.
The players scan 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 announces "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller verifies that the items marked form a proper line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for an extended play.
