Step-By-Step:

Start by downloading the Cultural Connect! 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 more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pens. Crayons cost the least.
Select one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller may as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller opens the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and calling out it to everyone.
The players check 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 crossed items announces "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller validates that the items crossed off form a correct line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
