Step-By-Step:
Start by saving the Close Reading 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 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 pens. Crayons are the cheapest.
Select 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 begins the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and announcing it to everyone.
The players check their cards to see if they have the called word. If they do, they dab that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items announces "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller checks 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 game.
