Step-By-Step:
Start by downloading the Debate 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 pull them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut lines if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per 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 as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller starts the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and announcing it to all players.
The players look at 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 game.
The caller verifies that the items crossed off form a proper line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for multiple patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
