Step-By-Step:
Start by downloading the Buddy Bingo 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 are the cheapest.
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 opens the play by randomly drawing an item from the call list and announcing it to all players.
The players scan their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they cross off 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 verifies that the items crossed off form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer play.
